Craving fish but worried about the cost? Think again. Affordable options like cod make it easy to enjoy seafood without breaking the bank. As a home cook with years of experience creating simple, tasty meals, I recommend this Cod Crumble—a crispy, golden-topped dish that's both economical and impressive.
- 4 cod fillets
- 40g ground almonds
- 40g flour
- 40g grated Parmesan
- 40g butter (semi-salted preferred)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 dash olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (th. 7).
2. Rinse, pat dry, and remove any remaining bones from the cod fillets.
3. Lightly oil a baking dish and arrange the fillets inside.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
5. Toast sesame and poppy seeds in a dry pan until fragrant.
6. In a bowl, combine Parmesan, flour, ground almonds, and toasted seeds.
7. Cut butter into small pieces and add to the mixture.
8. Mix with your hands and rub together to form a crumbly texture.
9. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fillets.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the topping turns golden caramel-colored.
Pair with steamed potatoes and green beans for moisture, or a fresh green salad with diced tomatoes. Avoid rice, as it can be too dry alongside the crumble.
Bon appétit!
