I made it exactly as written, and it came out crispy as described. The only thing that it lacked, was seasoning on the fish. The recipe should start off with seasoning the cod filets ahead of the egg wash. But this recipe is for a crispy crust, and that’s what you’ll get!

It was good. I made a double batch and that was unnecessary. I spread the mixture on top as directed but I think I put to much on. Next time I think using it sparingly and maybe a little less grated cheese or it may have been strong due to doubling the recipe. All in all I will save it. My goal is to find a good recipe for baking cod over always deep fried
Ivan Martin
Very nice – used a mixture of panko and italian breadcrumb. Also poured lemon juice on top prior to putting in oven

This meal was quick and easy to make. However, my husband and I were not too impressed and I will probably will not make again.

We followed the instructions without any substitutions. The fish was easy to prepare and tasty. Will use this recipe again.

I used the mayonnaise with lemon juice instead of the egg white. There was too much crumb topping, & I think it would have benefited from increasing the olive oil or using butter instead, bc the topping didn’t brown very well. Otherwise, the flavor was good & it made for an enjoyable meal.

id change up a few things. I used an egg substitue and added minced fresh garlic and a little salt & pepper. Coated the fish filets with the egg mixture then coated with panko breadcrumbs/parmesan/spice mixture. I added, oregano, thyme, lemon/orange pepper and onion & garlic powder to the panko mixture. Coated the entire filet and cooked them at 400 on a wire rack/broiler pan for about 30 min. It came out perfect and everyone loved it.

This was delicious. I followed another reviewer’s suggestion and substituted lightly seasoned mayonnaise thinned with lemon juice for the egg whites. I used panko bread crumbs and omitted the olive oil. I served with roasted cauliflower and used the leftover crumb topping during the last few minutes of roasting the cauliflower. I will make this many more times!

I will make this again. It was very good. I had one filet that was good for two. I did not use the egg white. I as others suggested sprinkled a bit of lemon juice and sprayed it with olive oil. Topped with the topping and sprayed it again with a little more olive oil. Served it with Roasted Parmesan Garlic Carrots from this site.

The amount of topping is enough for several more pieces of fish. It can be cut down a bit for the 12 ounces in the recipe. Otherwise, it was really good and simple – a good quick weeknight meal.
Anthony Boone
Came out amazing, used the Mayo/lemon juice blend instead of egg whites and really added a nice zesty flavor. Will definitely make again.
Matthew Cole
I didn’t use the egg white but other than that everything else the same. It was great. Thank you for sharing!
Jessica Thornton

Andrew Guzman
Very easy and tasty. I will make this again.
Sheila Perez
Great! Flavorful, nice crunch.
Rebecca Velez
It seemed awfully dry. Family wasn’t crazy about it.
Andrew Mcdonald
It’s OK…not too much flavor though…I might try marinating the cod in Italian dressing first.

I made this last night and my 11yo daughter said it was “definitely kid-approved.” My partner said it was delicious. My only regret is that it could have used more herbal seasoning. I did sprinkle some fresh cilantro and scallions over mine and that brightened it up. Definitely will make this again.

During Covid-19 isolation I could not make cod the way we are used to so this was a recipe I could do out of my pantry. I had to grind up seasoned croutons instead of bread crumbs and simply adjusted the other ingredients to compensate for it. Delicious and a keeper. Thank you allrecipes for helping through a “make it due” situation!

Very good, use crushed pork rinds for breading making it Keto friendly .
Frank Harvey
Easy and tasty. What else matters?
