New England Baked Cod with Ritz Cracker Crumbs |
Author: Janelle
My recipe for Baked Cod is a tried and true family favorite perfect to enjoy year round. The secret to the crunchy, golden crumb topping is to use Ritz Crackers instead of boring old breadcrumbs. I added Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley and pepper to the crumb mixture to give it lots of flavor.
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless cod filets
- Butter, for greasing
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
- ¼ cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- Black pepper, a few grinds to taste
- Dash of cayenne pepper, if desired
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ tsp. paprika
- Lemon wedges
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
- Grease your baking dish with butter.
- Rinse cod and pat dry.
- Place cod in baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine cracker crumbs, cheese, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper and parsley. Mix until combined.
- In a medium size saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Turn off heat and then add the crumb mixture to the pan. Mix until the butter and crumbs are combined.
- Spoon crumb mixture generously over the cod. Dust with paprika.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until fish is cooked through and the crumbs are browned.
