Crunchy Italian Cod Fillets

Let me be the first to say I am not a fish person. If it doesn't come from McDonald's or Wendy's I don't like it. However, this fish is really good. It's crunchy & flavorful & not too fishy tasting. And it's low carb! Only 6.5 grams per serving. Just keep an eye on it when it's in the oven. It may not take the entire cooking time depending on the thickness of the fillets. I adapted this recipe from one I found online to suit my family's taste.


1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Basil
1/4 teaspoon Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Parsley
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) cod fillets
1 egg, lightly beaten



1.Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2.In a small shallow bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, cheese, cornmeal, oil, basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder and pepper; set aside.
3.Coat the rack of a broiling pan with cooking spray. Salt & pepper both sides of the fillets. Place the cod on the rack, folding under any thin edges of the filets. Brush with the egg, then spoon the crumb mixture evenly on top. Press crumb mixture onto fish.
4.Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.
