Family Friendly Cod Fillets

I hate to admit I'm not much of a fish lover.  I don't like fishy tasting fish.  I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed these lightly breaded cod loins.  I serve them with a homemade tartar sauce that's hard to beat.  


Ingredients


6 large cod fillets ( about 5 oz / 142 g each)
2/3 cup buttermilk
grated zest of 1 lemon
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Mix
Pam cooking spray

Method


Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.  

Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels.  Whisk together buttermilk and lemon zest in a shallow baking dish.  Add cod and turn to coat both sides with mixture.  Let stand for 10 minutes.  

In a shallow pan, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and Mrs. Dash seasoning mix.  

Working with one piece at a time, remove cod from buttermilk mixture and shake off excess liquid.  Coat both sides of the fish.  Place fish on prepared pan.  Repeat until all fish has been breaded.  Lightly spray the top of the fish with cooking spray (or drizzle with a bit of melted butter).

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Cooking time depends of the thickness of the fish.  Serve with tartar sauce.  

Tartar Sauce 

1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon sweet green relish
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.  

Makes 6 servings.
