Crispy Baked Fish and Chips

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets (~1.5 lb. total)
• 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise
• 2 tsp of Dijon mustard
• 1½ cups of frozen shredded hash browns
• ¾ cup of white cheddar cheese, shredded
• ½ cup of plain panko crumbs
• 2 Tbsp of butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Add fish.
3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard. Coat the top side of the fish evenly with the mixture using a spoon.
4. Prepare the crust: In a different bowl, thoroughly mix crust ingredient. Press crust mixture onto the cod in a 1/2-inch-thick layer, covering the top side completely.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fish is cooked through, flaky and firm with an internal temperature of 145°F.

Comments:

For a crispier crust, broil on low for an additional 1 to 3 minutes.
