Even Though There Is Garlic In Here, No Need To Beware

This recipe comes from The Black Dog Summer On The Vinyard Cook Book and if you love garlic, you will want to try this easy, different and delicious taste of cod. And you just might be surprised that so polished a dish is so simple to prepare. I'm putting in the whole recipe, but I halved everything when I made this for two.

Garlic Crusted Codfish
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves chopped garlic
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 pounds bonless codfish fillets
4 lemon wedges

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat butter and oil in a small skillet on low heat and add the garlic for a minute to soften, not brown.

2. Remove pan from heat and add the bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix to moisten the crumbs and seasoning.

3. Dredge each fillet in the beaten egg first, then the crumb mixture, and place in an oiled roasting pan.

4. Bake fish in the preheated oven for about ten to twelve minutes. The crust should be golden brown. The fish inside will be moist and flaky.

5. Serve with lemon wedges.

This dinner was really delicious. I served it with roasted root vegetables fresh from the public market. Try it and enjoy!
