Almond-Crusted Cod

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • ~1 lb cod fillets (2 fillets)
  • 1 lemon, ½ juiced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ cup almond meal
  • 2 tbsp slivered almonds (optional)

Directions

  • Place the cod fillets in a dish and coat with the juice of ½ a lemon. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight for enhanced flavor.
  • Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, place the almond meal.
  • Dip each cod fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coat. Then, dredge in the almond meal, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  • Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cod reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with slivered almonds for extra crunch.
  • Plate with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.

Notes

Cooking Tip: For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated cod with oil before baking or broiling for 1–2 minutes. Pairing Suggestions: Serve with roasted asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or a fresh lemon-garlic sauce for extra flavor.
