How to Make Baked Cod Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring often, until softened (5-7 minutes).
  4. Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and cook until slightly dry (about 5 minutes).
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc), increase heat to high, and cook, stirring often, until the wine is slightly reduced (2-4 minutes).
  6. Place 1.5 pounds Pacific cod fillets on top of the onion and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 pinches of crushed red pepper flakes.
  7. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  8. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
  9. While the cod bakes, prepare the bread topping: In a bowl, toss 2 cups cubed crusty bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  10. Remove the casserole from the oven, carefully spread the bread mixture over the fish, and top with 4 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded.
  11. Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center and the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 10-15 minutes more).
