1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Cod
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
3
Make the Breading
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, mixing well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
4
Coat the Fillets
Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet to coat.
5
Bake the Cod
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breading is golden brown.
6
Serve
Serve the baked cod fillets hot with tartar sauce on the side.
