This PARMESAN CRUSTED COD is a simple cod recipe that’s low carb and ready in just 15 minutes. Easy to prepare and the whole family loves this flavorful fish.
I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for seafood. It’s not something we eat a lot of, but my husband and I both have a goal this year to reduce some of our beef consumption and replace it with fish.
It’s a work in progress for sure and we’ve been having fun testing out new seafood recipes.
This Parmesan crusted cod is so dang easy to make and the fish bakes in about 10 minutes.
We love quick dinners like this!
How to:
Breading: We’re breading the cod in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and seasonings. You’ll just want to stir together Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a shallow dish.
Dredging: Add an egg to a second shallow dish and beat until it’s smooth. Dip the cod first in the egg and then into the breading mixture.
Bake: Place the fish on a greased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes. The fish should easily flake apart with a fork.
Serving: We like to serve this Parmesan crusted cod with lemon wedges, but this homemade tartar sauce is always welcome on our table.
How to tell when cod is done:
The easiest way to tell when fish is done is to use your fork!
Place the fork into the fish and give it a little twist. The fish will flake apart when it’s fully cooked and no longer look translucent.
Fish is fully cooked at an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Ingredients
- 4 cod filets about 5 ounces each

- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Lemon for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Place the egg in a shallow dish.
Add the Parmesan and seasonings to a second shallow dish and mix together with a fork to combine.
Dip each cod filet first in the egg and then in the Parmesan mixture to coat. Arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Tips & Notes:
We use the powdery Parmesan cheese in the green can for a finer breading, but you could also use shredded Parmesan for a different texture.

An easy recipe that comes together in no time and tastes great! My family loved it with broccoli as a side. I used Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds (Epic brand) and didn’t add the garlic, onion or red pepper flakes. It was delicious!! Thank you! 🙂Reply

This was fantastic! I threw a few pats of french butter on each filet right at the end of cooking. I served it over mashed cauliflower with butter and sour cream and threw some dill on top at the end. My side was the Parmesan roasted broccoli.Reply

Hi Sherrie! I’m sure this would work in an air fryer, but I’m not sure on temp or timing. I’d probably do it at 375, but not sure how long it will take.

This is very promising. As it’s still in the oven, I can see that the shredded parmesian has melted into a puddle at the side of the pan, so yes, next time as someone suggested, I’m going to sprinkle bread crumbs or panco. It will even be better!

This recipe was very flavorful and I only used 1/2 tsp of the onion powder and garlic powder and it was perfect. A full teaspoon was overpowering to me so glad I cut back. It did take 5-7 minutes longer of baking to start to get a little crispy and yet it wasn’t totally crispy but didn’t want to overcook. Think it needs minor adjustments for cooking, maybe 450 for less time? It was tasty though, I will make it again because its a healthier version for fish. Thank you.

This was really good. My pieces were very thick so cooked longer than recommended. I also added panko to the parm and seasonings
