Ritz Cracker Crumb Baked Cod

Very tasty! This may be the first time I've ever made a cod dish, and it was quite good. The package I got was just 3 filets (from Aldi); the original recipe had 4, so I adapted a bit, but should have done more. I believe I should have reduced the liquid slightly, and definitely did not need nearly so much of the breading mixture (should have also not put any excess in the liquid; will not add the excess to the sauce area going forward--directions reflect this change).

Recipe below contains my modifications (I am listing what I think will work best next time I make this).

Ingredients:

1 1/2 T. olive oil
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
10 Ritz crackers, crushed to crumbs
3 T. panko
1 1/2 T. curly parsley, chopped
1/2 T. bottled minced garlic
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 T. unsalted butter, melted
3 T. dry white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Pour the olive oil in a 9" x 9" (or 10" x 7.5", which is what I used) ceramic baking dish. Place the cod filets in the olive oil, then turn to coat. Season with the kosher salt and pepper, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 10 min.


2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the Ritz crumbs, panko, garlic, lemon zest, and melted butter.


3. When the fish has finished baking for 10 minutes, remove from oven. Pour the white wine and lemon juice over the fish, then top the filets with the crumb mixture (it's okay if a few crumbs get in the liquid surrounding the fish, but try to avoid it as much as possible).

4. Return the fish to oven and bake for 12 more minutes. Serve with drizzled with the sauce and enjoy!
