Ingredients Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets (5 oz each)
  • half cup panko breadcrumbs
  • quarter cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • half teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Notes

  • Panko breadcrumbs create a much crispier crust than regular breadcrumbs
  • Do not skip the parmesan as it binds the crust and adds incredible flavor
  • Check fish at 12 minutes as thinner fillets cook faster
  • Squeeze fresh lemon over the top right before serving for brightness
