Lenten Seafood recipes: Oven Roasted Cod with Herbs

In the spirit of Lent I'd love for everyone to share their favorite seafood recipes with me! I'm starting out the Lenten season with another simple and delicious recipe for fish. I particularly liked the breading used in this recipe. The flavors really complement the cod nicely. However, if you don't have any cod I think that most white fish would work well.

Oven Roasted Cod with Herbs

Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs
* 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley
* 2 large cloves garlic
* 1 lemon, zested
* Coarse salt
* 4 (6 to 8-ounce) cod fillets
* Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Pile parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and a little coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop the lemon-garlic mixture, then combine with plain bread crumbs.

Dip each fillet in olive oil and then dredge in the bread crumb herb mixture. Brush a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan then place fillet in the pan, crust side up. Roast fillets in oven until firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes.
