Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt.
  4. Dip the fish filets in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated cod filets in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
  5. Bake 12 minutes (30 minutes for chicken) in the preheated oven until cod is white and flaky(for chicken - no longer pink and juices run clear). Broil until browned  - approximately 5 minutes.
