How to Make Baked Breaded Cod

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Lightly spray a jelly-roll pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (or to taste), salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture evenly onto one side of each cod fillet. Dip the coated side into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking pan, breadcrumb side up.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
