Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch carefully).

Use fresh, thick cod fillets for best texture.

Haddock makes a great substitute if cod is unavailable.

Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
