Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup capers, drained
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat dry the cod fillets and season them with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped dill, Panko breadcrumbs, and lemon zest. Lightly coat each cod fillet with olive oil and then dredge in the dill mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the coated fillets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fillets are cooked through and the crust is golden brown. While the cod is baking, prepare the lemon caper sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Stir in the capers and lemon juice. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors. Keep the sauce warm over low heat until ready to serve. Upon removing the baked cod from the oven, transfer to serving plates. Generously spoon the lemon caper sauce over each fillet. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy dill crust and zesty lemon caper sauce that harmonizes beautifully with the tender cod.
