Equipment

oven adjusted to the center rack position
Small baking dish - We used an 8"x8" pan
cutting board & knife
paper towels
food processor
Microwave
Bowls

Ingredients

2 pounds Wild-Caught Alaskan Cod thawed
32 Ritz Crackers one sleeve
6 tablespoons Butter melted - reserve one tablespoon for buttering the baking dish
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Lemon & parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish with one tablespoon of melted butter and set aside.
If fish is in large pieces, cut it into smaller portion sizes. Season cod fillets with salt and pepper on each side and place them in the baking dish.
In a food processor, chop the Ritz crackers until a rough crumb is formed. You don't want them super fine, but processed enough to have some larger pieces.
In a bowl, combine melted butter and crushed Ritz crackers.
Sprinkle crumbs on top of the seasoned fish.
Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until crackers are golden brown and fish is no longer opaque. It should be white, and flaky.
