Ingredients
>
1 lb fresh or frozen cod thawed (cut into at least 4 pieces)
>
1 lemon
>
1 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
>
15 buttery round crackers
>
3 tbsp butter, melted
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place fish in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Finely grate 1½ tsp zest from the lemon, then cut lemon into wedges. In a resealable gallon-size plastic bag, combine lemon zest, crackers, and Old Bay. Season with salt and pepper. Seal bag. Using a rolling pin or heavy skillet, crush crackers in bag. Transfer cracker crumbs to a medium bowl. Drizzle with the butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
3
Divide cracker crumbs among fish and pat gently to help crumbs adhere. Bake 12–15 min., until fish is opaque and crumbs have browned. Serve with lemon wedges.
