Ingredients
– 1 lb (approximately 450 grams) cod or other mild white fish
– 35 crushed buttery crackers (about 1 cup)
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
– 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
– ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– 2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
– Light salt and pepper for seasoning the fish
Instructions
1-Getting started with Boston Baked Cod is as easy as preheating your oven, and the whole process adds up to roughly 20 minutes from start to finish. Begin by seasoning the fish lightly with salt and pepper, then place it in a baking dish for even cooking.
2-Next, mix the crushed crackers, melted butter, minced parsley, lemon juice, salt, and grated cheese to form a tasty topping, and spread it evenly over the fish. This setup helps lock in moisture and ensures the fish bakes just right. Pop it into the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, depending on how thick the fish is, until it flakes easily and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.

🐟 Choose fresh cod with firm, white flesh and no fishy smell for the best flavor and texture
🍞 Crush the crackers finely but not to dust – small pieces create better texture and prevent burning
🍋 Add the lemon juice just before mixing the topping to maintain its bright flavor and prevent the crackers from getting soggy
