INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. cod fillets
• 6 Tbs. butter; melted
• ½ tspn. dijon mustard
• ½ lemon; juiced, plus more for serving
• 1 Tbs. fresh parsley; finely chopped
• 1 tspn. dried dill
• 1 garlic clove; minced
• Salt & pepper; to taste
• 16 saltine or Ritz crackers; crushed into fine crumbs

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place fish on a large baking pan lined with parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk together the butter, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, dill, and garlic. Taste and season with salt and pepper as well as additional lemon juice or mustard if desired. Add the cracker crumbs and combine well (the crackers should be moist but not sopping wet). If mixture seems too buttery add more cracker crumbs; too dry, add more butter in tablespoon increments. Coat the top of the cod fillets with the crumb mixture. Bake for 15-16 minutes depending on the size of the fish, until internal temperature reaches 140°F, then broil for 1-2 minutes or until top turns golden, checking every 20 seconds. Serve immediately with additional lemon.
