Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.75 cup panko bread crumbs
0.75 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons butter, softened
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, mayonnaise, melted butter, oregano, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Generously spread this mixture over each cod fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Then, switch to broil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cod flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately for the best taste.
