For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the panko mixture. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; if necessary, bake the fish in two batches to ensure even cooking. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, can be substituted for the dried Italian herb mix. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Cut the lemon in half, then slice one half into wedges for serving. Squeeze the juice from two of the lemon wedges into a small bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Using a microplane or fine grater, grate the garlic clove into a paste and add it to the bowl. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herb mix until well combined. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil onto the prepared baking sheet. Season both sides of the cod fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the baking sheet. Brush the top of each fillet with Dijon mustard, then evenly press the panko mixture onto the mustard-coated fish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 12-15 minutes. The Parmesan crust should be golden brown and crispy. (Cook time: 12-15 minutes)

Serve immediately with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing. A side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad complements this dish beautifully. (Serve time: 2 minutes)
