This Parmesan Crusted Cod is a delicious low-carb seafood dinner featuring tender, flaky cod fillets topped with a golden, savory Parmesan crust. It’s an easy, flavorful meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush the cod fillets with melted butter, coating them evenly.
  5. Press the Parmesan mixture onto the top of each fillet, creating an even crust.
  6. Arrange the coated cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. For a more golden crust, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
