- 2 cod filets
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup classic salted crackers
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 lemon 1/2 juiced, 1/2 sliced
- salt & pepper to taste
- cilantro garnishing
- pink berry pepper or red pepper flakes optional
Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees.
Brush coconut oil on to the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover the fish evenly with crushed crackers (to crush crackers put them in a zipped sandwich bag and crush it with the back of a large metal spoon or ice cream scooper).
Squeeze the juice from a half lemon over the fish. Cut other half of the lemon and place lemon slices on the fish for moisture and enhanced flavor.
Spread the capers over and around the fish.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the crackers start to turn golden brown.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over a bed of rice or vegetables
