Imagine flaky white cod kissed by a crunchy almond crust, golden from the oven, with a whisper of lemon and herbs. This Almond Crusted Cod is weeknight elegance—light, protein-packed, and fancy enough for guests, yet simple enough for Tuesday dinner.

🥗Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 cod fillets (6 oz each, skinless)

1 cup raw almonds

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

1 lemon (zest + wedges for serving)

2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)

1 egg (lightly beaten)

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Optional: pinch of cayenne

🍳Step-by-Step: Cod in 4 Moves

1. Crush the Coating

Lock your hand crank cheese grater with suction base.

Crushing blade: Feed in almonds → crank for coarse, buttery crumbs.

Mix with panko, lemon zest, parsley, salt, pepper (and cayenne if using).

2. Prep the Fish

Pat cod dry. Brush tops with Dijon mustard—this is the glue for crunch!

3. Coat & Press

Dip mustard side in beaten egg, then press into crushed almond mix. Pack it tight—more crust = more crunch.

4. Bake to Golden

Place on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil or butter.

Bake at 400°F until crust is golden and cod flakes easily. Serve with lemon wedges and a crisp salad.

🍋Tips & Twists

Herb Boost – Add dried thyme or dill to the crust.

Gluten-Free – Swap panko for GF breadcrumbs.

Spicy Kick – Mix chili flakes into almonds before crushing.

Make-Ahead – Crush almonds with Geedel up to 2 days ahead; store airtight.

Pair It – Serve with Geedel-shredded carrot slaw or roasted asparagus.
