Lemon Herb Cod

You wouldn't believe how quickly I've slipped into summer vacation mode.  I'm really taking this whole relaxing thing seriously.  This new summer attitude has been great for my mental outlook but it has had a negative affect on our dinner routine.  I seem to be having a hard time focusing on getting dinner on the table after a lazy day hanging out by the pool.  (Did I mention that I love summer?)  I've had to make adjustments in our menu to accommodate more quick and easy (and no stress) summer meals.  I found this recipe for Baked Cod with Crunchy Lemon- Herb Topping in my Cook's Country magazine and I decided it would be a perfect lazy summer day dinner.








Lemon Herb Cod

24 Ritz crackers, crushed
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
3 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
4 cod filets

Toss
cracker crumbs with 1 T. parsley.
Combine mayonnaise, 1 T. parsley,
garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice.
 




Season fish with salt and pepper.

Brush with mayonnaise mixture.
 
Press cracker crumbs on top. 


 
Bake 20
minutes at 450. 




This fish was so mild that even my son ate a whole piece.  (He's not usually a big fish eater.)  The lemon and parsley really add a nice fresh flavor to the flaky white cod.  We all enjoyed this dinner. 


 Ciao!
