Rub the cod filets in olive oil or melted butter; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover entire filet with bread crumbs. 5. Bake until bread crumbs begin to get crispy and the cod is flaked easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Fish should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. 6. Garnish fish with squeezed lemon juice to taste.
