Here's a weeknight dinner that honestly changed how I cook fish. Oven baked cod is so wonderfully simple that you'll wonder why you don't make it every week. The whole thing comes together in just 25 minutes from start to table, and the ingredients are probably sitting in your kitchen right now. I love using fresh parsley in the breadcrumb topping because it's packed with vitamins and gives you that restaurant quality flavor without any fuss. Cod is naturally lean and mild, making it perfect for weeknight cooking, and this method keeps it incredibly moist and tender. Trust me, you're about to become a fish cooking convert.
