4 Cod fillets approx. 2 pounds

35 butter crackers ie. Ritz or Club crackers

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

2 Tablespoons butter melted

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt & pepper to taste

Fresh parsley optional garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place cod on a greased baking sheet or line with parchment paper

Place the crackers in a zip lock bag and break into into crumbs. (I use a rolling pin)

In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs with parmesan cheese, melted butter, lemon juice and salt & pepper.

Evenly spoon the mixture over top of each fillet.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes.

Remove and top with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Use panko bread crumbs for a lower calorie option

Use gluten free crackers or panko breadcrumbs if needed.

Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder to breadcrumbs.

You know when the fish is done when you insert a fork and it flakes easily.

Squeeze a little more lemon juice over top of cooked fish if desired.

This recipe is best served immediately from the oven when the topping is most crispy. If necessary, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until heated.
