Crispy Baked Cod with Green Beans

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt the butter in a saucepan or in the microwave.

Step 2

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Add the green beans to one side of the sheet tray & drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt.

Step 3

Place the cod fillets (thawed, if frozen) on the other side of the sheet tray & drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt. Transfer the sheet tray to the oven & bake for 10 min.

Step 4

Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley.

Step 5

Using your fingers, crush the crackers into a bowl.

Step 6

Add the panko, grated or minced garlic & parsley to the bowl with the crackers. Add the melted butter & mix with a spoon.

Step 7

After cooking for 10 min, remove the sheet tray from the oven. Squeeze the lemon over the cod. Spoon the cracker mixture over each piece & gently press it down so it sticks. Don't worry if some of it falls onto the sheet tray!

Step 8

Return to the oven & cook for another 5-8 min, until the cod flakes easily & the cracker crust is golden.

Step 9

Plate the cod & green beans. Top with more parsley & another squeeze of lemon. Serve & enjoy!
