Breadcrumb-Crusted Cod

By garciamoss

This breadcrumb-crusted cod fits the bill. A creamy spread of Greek yogurt and tarragon keeps the cod moist and flavorful and helps keep the crispy breadcrumb topping in place.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1-1 1/4 pounds cod, tuna, wild salmon or mahi-mahi, skinned if desired, cut into 4 portions (see Tip)
• 4 lemon wedges for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine breadcrumbs, garlic and oil in a small bowl. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon and salt in another small bowl. Place fish on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of the yogurt sauce on each piece of fish, then pat 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs over it.
Bake the fish until opaque in the center and breadcrumbs are golden, about 15 minutes. Serve each portion with 1 tablespoon of the remaining sauce and a lemon wedge, if desired.
