What you will need for your Baked Cod Filets
- One large sheet pan
- Aluminum foil (optional)
- Olive oil
- Sweet potatoes
- Broccoli
- Grated parmesan cheese
- GarlicPowder
- Salt and pepper
- Bread crumbs ( or almond flour for paleo and gluten free)
- Dried paprika
- Basil leaves (fresh or dried)
- Fresh lemon (s)
The quick and easy How To
First, set the oven at 400.
Put all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together. We went with almond flour, to keep it gluten free and Paleo for Gammy. And, paprika, lemon zest, chopped basil leaves, grated parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Another choice would be to just let your imagination run wild and use whatever you want and have on hand for the dry ingredients.
Spray the baking sheet with olive oil. Or line it with aluminum foil before you spray to make the cleanup even easier.
Put your veggies in the sheet. We opted for sweet potatoes and broccoli but you could use just about any combo. Just don’t use veggies that are going to cook real fast like peas or canned corn. Stick with more solid stuff like broccoli, string beans or asparagus.
Place the veggies on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave and set up your assembly line. The fillets go in the butter first. Turn them over in the butter to get them coated. Next roll them in the dry ingredients and place them on the baking sheet.
Into the oven for about ten or fifteen minutes. Your dinner will be ready when the potatoes are easy to poke with a fork and the cod wants to flake apart when you poke it with a fork.
This one pan dinner tastes great and it is easy to cook.
We had a chilled bottle of good California Chardonnay with our Baked Cod Filets.
