Ingredients
  

4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon wedges (for serving)

For the Herb Sauce:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

      Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth. This mixture will help the panko adhere to the fish.

        Coat the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, coating it completely, then press it into the panko mixture, ensuring a generous coating on both sides.

          Bake the Cod: Place the coated cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil to help achieve a golden-brown crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

            Make the Herb Sauce: While the cod is baking, prepare the herb sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.

              Serve: Once the cod is done baking, serve the crispy panko cod fillets hot, with a generous dollop of herb sauce on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
