Panko Crusted Baked Cod

I don’t cook a lot of fish as that is something I usually order for dinner out. After spending two weeks in the Florida Keys and eating the most incredible seafood, I knew it was time for me to cook a little more with it, not to mention it is very good for you as well!  This was a great recipe to start with as it is very simple and has a nice flavor and a great crisp from the Panko.
If you are new to cooking fish this is a great recipe to start with!

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds cod (haddock would be good as well)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup panko crumbs
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the fillets into serving size pieces. Melt butter in a saucepan or in the microwave, add the lemon juice to the melted butter. In another medium bowl combine flour, panko, salt and Pepper. Dip each piece of fish into the lemon butter, mix then into the panko mix coating each piece of fish on both sides. Place coated fish into an untreated baking dish, drizzle with remaining butter mix and bake uncovered 25-30 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done. Drizzle with a wedge of lemon and serve warm.

Enjoy!
