Butter And Cheese Crusted Cod
- 8 ounces cod or haddock filet
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons finely grated parmigiano reggiano
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- Cut the fish into two pieces and marinate in the lemon juice in a bowl for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat oven (toaster over) to 425F.
- Melt 2 T butter in a 1/2 qt baking dish in the oven. Remove and add the fish, coating it with the butter, and then add in the lemon juice.
- Add 2 T butter to top the fish and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven; top with herb(s), cayenne, and cheese. Add 2 more T of butter and bake an additional 10 minutes. Cheese should be crusted and the liquid simmering.
- Remove to plate. Spoon over a bit of the hot liquid. Dust with parsley.
- I have been cooking fish for a long time. Coating it... baking it... pan frying it... but this is simply astoundingly good (as it is astoundingly simple)
