Light, lemony and healthy is how I would describe this Panko Crusted Baked Cod. The flavor is wonderful and the fish is tender and flaky. I served the fish over garlic couscous and it was delicious.
I used the frozen Alaskan Cod from Trader Joe's and I thawed from frozen in package in the refrigerator for
24 hours. It is a great deal to buy the frozen fish at Trader Joe's and the Alaskan Cod was under $4 for about 1 pound. This was a quick and easy dish that I will definitely be making again.
