Delicious New England Baked Cod Fish Recipes

BAKED COD WITH RITZ CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Prepare oven, baking pan, fish: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a small baking pan or casserole pan with butter or a little oil. Rinse off the fish fillets with cold water, pat dry. Use long nose pliers to remove any pin bones from the fillets.
• Place fillets in bottom of dish: If you want, cut the fillets into large serving pieces. Place the fillets at the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with salt.
• Top fish with Ritz Cracker butter mixture: Melt the butter. Crush the Ritz crackers and place in a bowl; they should look like coarse breadcrumbs. Mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs. Pack the crumb mixture over the top and sides of the fish fillets.
• Bake: Place in the 350°F oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. (Thin fillets may take less time, very thick fillets may take longer.) Serve: Serve the fish with lemon and parsley. Links: Baked Fish with Pine Nut, Parmesan and Basil Crust - from Kayln's Kitchen

DELICIOUS NEW ENGLAND BAKED COD FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish with one tablespoon of melted butter and set aside.
• If fish is in large pieces, cut it into smaller portion sizes. Season cod fillets with salt and pepper on each side and place them in the baking dish.
• In a food processor, chop the Ritz crackers until a rough crumb is formed. You don't want them super fine, but processed enough to have some larger pieces.
• In a bowl, combine melted butter and crushed Ritz crackers.
• Sprinkle crumbs on top of the seasoned fish.
• Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until crackers are golden brown and fish is no longer opaque. It should be white, and flaky.
