ingredients

24 ounces cod fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Place the cod fillets on the baking sheet.

In a bowl, combine the oil, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt and oregano. Mix well until everything is combined.

Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the top of the fish fillets.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

recipe tips


Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for a little extra savory flavor.

To make it a complete meal, serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.

For a gluten-free option, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs or ground nuts for the bread crumbs.

If the breadcrumbs are browning too quickly, tent the dish with foil to prevent burning.

Try different herbs and seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture.

common recipe questions


What type of fish can I use?

Any firm white fish can be used as a substitute for cod, such as haddock or halibut.

Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?

You can use dried parsley if fresh is not available, but the flavor may be slightly different. You'll need to use about 1 tablespoon dried in place of the 1/4 cup fresh.

Can I use fresh oregano in place of the dried?

You can use fresh oregano. Use 3x the amount of dried so in this recipe you'll need 3/4 teaspoon of fresh minced oregano.

How can I make the breadcrumbs stick better to the fish?

Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel before adding the breadcrumb mixture to help it adhere better.

Can I add other seasonings to the breadcrumb mixture?

You can customize the seasoning to your taste preferences by adding herbs like thyme, basil, or paprika.

How do I know when the fish is done cooking?

The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.

Can I store and reheat leftover Cod Oreganata?

You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the oven at a low temperature to restore its crispy texture and not overcook the fish.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

No, the texture of the fish will degrade significantly after freezing it.
