Seductive Crumb-Caressed Cod
Engage in a steamy oceanic affair with this baked cod, tantalizingly undressed then dressed again in a parmesan and cornmeal crust, seasoned with whispers of Italian love.
Ignite your kitchen's passion by preheating the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a small shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, cornmeal, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir together with the intention of a lover's caress; set aside in anticipation.
Coat the rack of a broiling pan with a suggestion of cooking spray. Present your cod on the rack, folding under any thin edges as one might coyly adjust a garment.
With the gentle brush of an egg white, prepare your cod for its crumbly adornment, then lovingly spoon the mixture on top as if whispering sweet nothings.
Allow the romance to bloom in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish submits easily to the fork's advance and is opaquely satisfied all the way through.
