Oven-Roasted Cod Fillets

These cod fillets have a bread crumb/herb coating that makes them very easy to prepare and cook! You can add whatever spices you want to the mix if you don't like, or don't have on hand, what I used. Serve with a side salad of mixed greens and a bean salad for a healthy, complete and delicious meal!
Serves 2.

Ingredients:

Enough cod fillets for 2 people, about one inch thick
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp garlic powder 
2 tbsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp olive or canola oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch corning ware baking dish with low sides. Brush one side of cod fillets with oil.
2. On a large plate, mix bread crumbs with remaining ingredients. Press the oiled side of the cod fillets into the bread crumb mixture to coat well. Place the cod, breaded side up, in oiled baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Serve with a wedge of lime for garnish.
