Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with foil, and place a baking rack in the pan over the foil.
- Pat cod loins dry with paper towels.
- Combine panko crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, pepper, and minced fresh parsley on a plate. Mix with a fork until well blended.
- Pour buttermilk into a shallow dish and place beside the plate with crumbs.
- Dip each cod loin into the buttermilk, and then place on the crumbs. Scoop crumbs on top of each cod loin and pat firmly, to coat both sides. Place crumb-coated cod on the rack in the prepared pan. Add any remaining crumbs to the top of the cod loins, and spray with butter-flavored cooking spray.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cod loins. Test for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Cod is done with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Serve with lemon wedges and additional fresh parsley, if desired.
