Ingredients
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour large egg, lightly beaten
- 1¼ pounds cod, cut into 4 portions
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray
- ¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons or dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 450°F.
- Combine panko and Parmesan in a shallow dish. Place flour and egg in 2 separate shallow dishes. Sprinkle cod with ¼ teaspoon each pepper and salt.

- Remove the pan from the oven. Place the cod, sprayed-side down, on the rack. Coat the second side generously with cooking spray. Bake the fish until golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes.

- Serve the cod with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges, garnished with parsley, if desired.
