Crispy Oven Fried Cod Fish
There is nothing fancy about this but if your looking for a crispy coating without any deep-frying this is about as good as it gets, if your skillet is not large enough to hold all of the fish, then transfer to a baking sheet that has been coated with oil, only dry breadcrumbs or the coating will not adhere to the fish --- cooking time is for oven only, if desired any large fish fillet can be replaced for the cod, all seasoning my be adjusted to taste
