Parmesan Crusted Cod

Hey, friends! Today I want to share with you a super easy and delicious sheet pan recipe that I found on Better Homes & Gardens. It's parmesan-crusted cod with garlicky summer squash, and it's perfect for a busy weeknight or a cozy weekend.

All you need is one sheet pan, some cod fillets, some yellow squash and zucchini, some garlic, some parmesan cheese, some bread crumbs, some butter, some lemon juice, and some parsley. That's it! You just toss the squash with garlic and oil, place the cod on top, sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs, drizzle with butter and lemon juice, and bake for 15 minutes. Then you garnish with parsley and enjoy!

This recipe is so flavorful and satisfying, and it's also healthy and low-carb. The cod is flaky and moist, the cheese and bread crumbs add a nice crunch, and the squash is tender and garlicky. The lemon juice adds a bright touch of acidity, and the parsley adds some freshness. I love how everything comes together in one pan, and the cleanup is a breeze.

If you're looking for a new way to enjoy fish and veggies, give this recipe a try. You won't regret it! Let me know what you think in the comments below. Thanks for reading!
