Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Garden Dill Moonlight Mixes Minis, finely crushed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. Season the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Prepare the Crust: In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed Garden Dill Moonlight Mixes Minis with lemon zest. In another bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, and minced garlic.

  4. Coat the Cod: Dip each fillet first in the lemon-oil mixture, then press into the cracker crumbs, coating it evenly on both sides. Arrange the coated fillets in the prepared baking dish.

  5. Bake the Cod: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden and crispy.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped dill over the baked cod right before serving. Provide lemon wedges on the side for an added zesty kick.
