Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the prepared horseradish, plain Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until the breadcrumb mixture is evenly coated with the oil.
Spread an even layer of the horseradish-yogurt mixture over each piece of cod. Then, gently press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet, creating a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright finishing touch.
