Best Cod Fillets With Mustard Tarragon Crumb Crust Recipes

COD FILLETS WITH MUSTARD TARRAGON CRUMB CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• 2. In a small bowl, gently mix the crumbs, tarragon, lemon zest, melted butter, and a little salt and pepper.
• 3. Spread each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon mustard and season with more salt and pepper. Carefully pat the crumb topping over the surface of each fillet, pressing lightly so it sticks.
• 4. Brush a little oil onto a small baking sheet or shallow baking pan and set the fillets on the oiled spot (or use a nonstick pan). Bake the fish in the hot oven until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the fish is tender all the way through when you poke it with a thin knife or a skewer, 10 to 15 minutes.
• 5. If the topping seems like it's going to burn before the fish is done, turn the heat down to 375?. Serve immediately.

CRUMB-COATED COD FILLETS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, pepper and salt. In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs and water. In a third shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, dressing mix and seasoning. Coat fillets with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crumb mixture., Place fillets on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once.

COD WITH MUSTARD-CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle the cod fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Stir together the mustard and cumin and rub the mixture all over the cod. Coat the fillets in the cracker crumbs and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the fish under the broiler just until browned, about 45 seconds. Divide the fillets among 4 plates and serve immediately.

OVEN-BAKED COD WITH BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lay cod fillets in a baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Combine water and fish bouillon cube in a bowl. Stir to combine and pour over cod.
• Mix bread crumbs, butter, parsley, dill, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over cod.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden and crunchy, about 20 minutes.

COD WITH HERB-STUFFING CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place stuffing mix, parsley and lemon peel in processor and grind finely. Transfer crumb mixture to plate. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; brush with melted butter. Roll fish in crumb mixture to coat completely.
• Arrange fish on small baking sheet. Drizzle with any remaining butter. Bake fish until crumb crust is golden and fish is just opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Divide fish between 2 plates. Garnish with lemon wedges.

BAKED COD WITH BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs.
• Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.)
• Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.
