This Parmesan Crusted Cod recipe is one of the easiest fish meals to prepare for a quick, tasty weeknight dinner. You’ll have a super healthy meal ready to serve in less than 30 minutes, so grab the recipe and enjoy!
I keep simple fish recipes, like parmesan crusted cod in my regular meal rotation. It’s the perfect lightened up main course that you can serve alongside a myriad of side dishes. It cooks up quick and requires very little hands on time.
I actually roasted the broccoli at the same time and on the same baking sheet, I cooked the parmesan crusted cod. The entire meal was ready-to-go in less than 30 minutes. Wahoo!
The kiddos are quite picky when it comes to fish, but they actually really enjoyed this meal because cheese. Yep, cheese just makes everything better- doesn’t it?!
The perfect recipe for those nights when you really don’t feel like cooking. The fish is bursting with healthy, fresh flavor and pairs well with roasted veggies and brown rice or quinoa. It would also be lovely atop a nice green salad with juicy garden tomatoes.

- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

- lemon, cut into wedges
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan, paprika, parsley and salt. Drizzle the cod with olive oil (rubbing it into the front and back of filet), then dredge in the cheese mixture, pressing it in lightly with your fingers. Transfer to the baking sheet. Top cod with any leftover cheese mixture.
- Bake until the fish is opaque in the thickest part, 10-15 minutes. Serve with the lemon slices.

Made this today… Delicious! And so easy!
Awesome! So glad that you enjoyed and thanks so much for taking time to comment.
This was so delicious and easy to make. I will definitely be cooking it often. I cut up zucchini and squash, tossed them in olive oil, seasoned them with salt, pepper and oregano, and baked them for 30 minutes. I had a delicious meal ready for my family in no time! Thank you for the recipe! If I may, I believe the protein content is higher than 10.7 g. A 6 ounce cod fillet has 30 g of protein and if you add in the cheese, it should be a total of 37 g of protein per cod. This is perfect for my high-protein diet. Thank you so much for sharing!
