Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 (6 oz) cod fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat cod fillets dry and place them in a single layer in a greased baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Bake the cod for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- While the cod bakes, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and onion powder. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the baked cod from the oven. Spoon the Parmesan cream sauce over the top of each fillet. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
