Lime Crusted Cod

I know it is Junk Food Friday, however, it was more important for me to use what I had so it would not go to waste.  I didn't miss a decadent fried food, or a cheesy pizza because I concentrated on good flavor.  I actually wasn't sure what I was doing until I started.  My plan was completely different and I got caught up into a simply enjoying combining flavors and textures.  I took out a few things and put away a few things and this is my final product.  No real recipe; simply what I used, what I had, and what I knew how to cook.

Lime Crusted Cod
because it was my own, I did not make it printable!

4 (4-6 oz) cod fillets
salt and pepper
olive oil
2 T. unsalted butter, divided
1/4 c. seasoned dried bread crumbs
2 T. grated Parmesan
zest of 1 lime
juice of 1/2 lime
1 T. parsley

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Brush a bit of olive oil in a small casserole.  Arrange the fillets.
Melt 1 T. of butter and drizzle over the fillets.
Sprinkle the lime zest on the fish.

Melt the remaining 1 T. butter.
Add to the bread crumbs along with grated cheese, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Heap the mixture over the fillets.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until flaky.
Serve with lime wedges.

I served with roasted sweet and white potatoes, along with sauteed fresh green beans and grape tomatoes (which stole the show).
As delicious and healthy as this was, I am disappointed I didn't take advantage of Junk Food Friday!!  Hmmm, I am thinking this evening calls for an Irish Coffee to settle down with!!
