Ingredients
- 6 (6-8 ounce) cod fillets (about 1 to 1 ½" thick)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 egg yolks
- Zest of half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, separated
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, separated
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped parsley (optional)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and have ready an oven-safe cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.
- Pat the exterior moisture away from the fillets using paper towels and set them aside on your work surface.
- In a small bowl, whisk to combine mayonnaise, egg yolks, lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
- In a larger bowl, add the panko bread crumbs, ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and chopped parsley (if using), and stir to combine. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until the bread crumbs are evenly coated.
- Dip each fish fillet fully into the mayo mixture, and then gently press all sides of the filet into the panko mixture. Transfer to the rack and bake for 25 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then serve using a thin spatula to slide under and lift the fillet away from the rack.
