Italian Herb & Parmesan Roasted Cod
Italian Herb & Parmesan Roasted Cod
Golden, herb-crusted cod meets crisp, fresh greens in a restaurant-worthy dinner that's ready in 25 minutes. A garlicky Panko crust gives the fish incredible texture, while our Italian Herb & Parmesan Chopped Kit adds a bright, savory finish. Light, satisfying, and seriously impressive.
Ingredients
- 1 (10.8-ounce) Fresh Express® Italian Herb & Parmesan Chopped Kit
- 2 (8-ounces) cod filets
- 1 cup Panko
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Slices of lemon for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and lightly oil it.
- Pat the cod dry and place on the pan. Mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, herbs, Panko, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon the Panko herb mixture over the fish in an even layer. Place in the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily and an internal temperature of 130°-135°F. Remove from oven and rest for 3-5 minutes.
- In a bowl, empty the contents of the Fresh Express® Italian Herb and Parmesan Chopped salad kit except croutons. Toss with dressing and divide onto two plates. Plate with the fish and garnish with croutons and a lemon slice.
Chef Tips:
Gently press the Panko and herb mixture into the fish so it doesn’t slide off while roasting.
Pat the bottom of the cod completely dry with paper towels before roasting to prevent “steaming” the fish instead of roasting it.
Because cod filets vary in thickness, the best way to check for doneness (other than a thermometer) is to take a fork and gently twist it in the thickest part of the fish. If the layers separated easily and are opaque (not translucent), it’s ready!
