  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly with oil or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine panko, Parmesan, melted butter, garlic powder, and herbs in a bowl.
