Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium to large bowl–panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil and salt. Pour the 2 tablespoons olive oil into a separate medium to large bowl.

  3. Take one piece of the cod fillet, dip both sides in the olive oil and let the excess oil drip off. Dredge the cod in the dried ingredient coating, both sides, and place on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining pieces of cod.

  4. Place the cod in the oven, and bake for about 20 minutes.

  5. As the cod bakes, make the olive relish. Combine the olives, 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.

Chef's Notes




A good size cod fillet of 1 pound or more will likely have some parts that are pretty thick, and some thinner parts. Cutting the fillet into a few pieces helps ensure it all gets cooked right, cooked through but not overcooked! Pounding the thicker pieces to make them all similar size helps with even cooking.
I didn’t use mustard in making the cod, but have done so cooking haddock with a similar preparation. So if feel free to use a bit of mustard here if you like that flavor.

This photo had my mouth watering! Then I scrolled down and saw the olive relish in the bowl...I'm really craving this now. And how perfect to pair it with an Albarino! I can't wait to try this and I will look up Barr!
