Prep 10 minutesCook 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 pounds (227 g) cod fillets
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) fresh parsley leaves
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- A dash of salt
- 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
- Rinse cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in the prepared baking pan. Evenly drizzle lemon juice over the cod fillets.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, and finely chopped walnuts. Season the mixture with a dash of salt and lemon pepper.
- Pour the melted butter into the walnut and breadcrumb mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the walnut mixture over one side of each cod fillet, pressing slightly to adhere.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
