Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 360u00b0F (180u00b0C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the walnuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. You can also chop them by hand for a chunkier texture. In a bowl, mix the ground walnuts with melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. The mixture should be crumbly and stick together when pressed.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish, making sure they are evenly spaced.
Top with the walnut mixture: Spoon the walnut crust mixture over the top of each cod fillet. Gently press it down so it adheres to the fish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. For optimal doneness, the internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides, like cauliflower rice or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Walnut texture: Keep walnuts coarsely ground for a crispy crust. Fish options: Use halibut, haddock, or pollock as substitutes. Nut-free: Swap walnuts for crushed pork rinds or pumpkin seeds. Make ahead: Prepare the walnut crust up to 3 days in advance. Storage: Leftovers keep for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F to maintain the crispy texture.
