How to Make Cod With Caesar Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture onto one side of each cod fillet (approximately 4-6 fillets, depending on size).
  5. Dip the coated side of each fillet into the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  7. Place the cod fillets, crumb-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
