Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Place the cod fillets, skin-side down, on a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray.
Mix the parsley and lemon zest into the breadcrumbs and season to taste. Press the mixture on top of the cod. Spray the topping with the olive oil spray.
Roast the fish towards the top of the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the topping is a light golden colour, and the fish feels tender when pierced with a thin knife. Serve immediately, accompanied with chips and peas.
Top Tip for making Parsley and lemon crusted cod
For cheat's chips; cook two small baking potatoes in the microwave, on high, for 5 minutes. Cut into chunky chips, place on a baking tray and spray with oil. Bake in the oven alongside the fish.
