Ingredients
- 1 head escarole, chopped
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 6-ounce skinless Pacific cod fillets (or other firm white fish)
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 red onion, halved and sliced
Instructions
- Position a rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Combine the panko and 1 tablespoon parsley on a plate. Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne in a small bowl. Season the cod on both sides with salt; brush the top with the mayonnaise mixture, then invert into the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere.
- Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil and top with the cod, panko-side up. Broil until the fish is just cooked through and the panko is crisp and golden, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, then add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the escarole, kale, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve the cod with the greens and lemon wedges.

Reviews
I made the fish, not the greens and it was delicious. I let my fish cook a little longer; I really like the crunch on top.
I only made the fish, no greens. Do not broil this for 6 minutes.. it will not cook through this way! Instead, I put my air fryer at 400 for 7 minutes AND THEN broiled on high for an additional 2 minutes. Exact time will vary based on thickness of cod, but in general, following the recipe will get you that burnt breadcrumb with raw middle fish that others mentioned. I will make this again and switch up the seasonings I add to the breadcrumbs.
This was really good. I had a thick piece of cod and knew the cooking instructions wouldn’t work so I did 20 minutes at 425 and then broiled for 2 minutes and it was pretty perfect. I also used the mayonnaise mixture on the whole filet, not just the top and I think that was good. I will DEFINITELY make this again.
Breadcrumbs were burnt and fish was still raw. Ended up having to bake the fish after scraping some breadcrumbs off. Could just be my oven, but I don’t think so. My instinct said this would happen, should have listened to myself and just baked instead.
The fish was delicious. I wasn’t as crazy about the greens but hubby enjoyed them. Putting the Panko under the broiler definitely burned them before the fish was done, so they should be coated with oil (I use a misty sprayer in this instance) and maybe just cook at a high temp instead of broil.
Simple elegance
This recipe is a keeper! I love that with just a few basic ingredients I was able to create a delicious, light and healthy dinner. I added a handful of cherry tomatoes (quartered) to the wilted greens at the end to warm them through.
This turned out fantastic! I used the low broiler on my oven, yours may vary…
So happy that I ran across this recipe! It is SO easy to make. I forgot to salt the cod, but the recipe doesn’t really need it – the topping provides a nice, flavorful, spicy kick! The winter greens provided a great hearty, textural contrast to the cod.
Just a note. May take twice the time.
