2 lbs. fresh cod fillets (or any firm, white fish)
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon seasoning for fish or seafood
cayenne pepper to taste
2 tablespoon olive or canola oil
2 cloves minced garlic
4 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 cups finely crumbled cornbread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9″ X 13″ baking pan with vegetable spray. Rinse the fish fillets and place them in the baking pan. Sprinkle the fish with lemon juice, cayenne and Old Bay Seasoning. In a heavy skillet, sauté the garlic in the oil for a couple of minutes. Stir in the cornbread crumbs and continue to cook, stirring frequently until the crumbs are golden and crisp. Stir in the cilantro or parsley. Spoon the seasoned crumbs evenly over the fish. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the fish is tender and the topping is crisp.
