    Eating baked cod is a healthy choice. The breadcrumb coating is a lighter, healthier alternative to the fried version. This easy fish recipe is perfect for textural contrasts. The outer crust of this dish is light and crispy, but the fish remains moist and tender. Cod is the perfect fish to make this dish, but you may use whatever type of fish you like best.

    Ingredients

    • 2 150g chunky cod fillets, skinned
    • 50g fresh white breadcrumbs
    • 50g of finely grated cheddar cheese
    • 2 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
    • 1 tablespoon tomato oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes
    • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method: Herb Crusted Roast Cod
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) or 400°F.
    • Line a baking tray with non-stick parchment paper.
    • Pat cod fillets thoroughly dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
    • Season cod fillets lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
    • Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
    • In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated cheddar, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato oil, and chopped parsley.
    • Mix the crumb mixture well so all ingredients are evenly distributed.
    • Place cod fillets on the prepared baking tray, spaced well apart.
    • Press the herb crust mixture evenly onto the top of each fillet, covering the surface fully.
    • Gently pat the crust to ensure it sticks well to the fillets.
    • Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the cod is just cooked through and the crust is golden (thicker fillets may need 1–2 extra minutes).
    • Remove from oven and let cod rest for 2 minutes to settle and retain juiciness.
    • For plating, use a wide warm plate and position the cod fillet in the center.
    • Spoon a small drizzle of extra tomato oil around the fish for added color and aroma, if desired.
    • Optionally garnish with a fresh parsley sprig.
    • Serve with lightly steamed seasonal vegetables or a crisp green salad for contrast.
    • Present immediately while hot and crust remains crisp.
