Ingredients

4 cod fillets about 600 g / 21 oz (you can subsitute the cod with hake, pollok or salmon)
2 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 medium tomatoes

1 teaspoon thyme fresh or dried
2 garlic cloves

Instructions

Wash the fish with clean water and dry off with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on each side. In a shallow bowl add the flour and toss the fish fillets until covered.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan and pan-fry the fish for about 1 minute each until the outsides/are browned.
Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems. Slice the tomatoes into thin slices. Distribute the tomato slices on the bottom of a shallow casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 4 tablespoon olive oil
Place the fish fillets on top of the tomatoes.
In a separate bowl, crush the garlic. Add the parmesan, thyme, butter and breadcrumbs. With a spoon mix all the ingredients to a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper.
Using a spoon, spread the parmesan crust evenly on the fish fillets. You can use your fingers to press the breadcrumbs mixture onto the fish if necessary.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The parmesan breadcrumb crust should be golden brown when you remove the dish from the oven.

Storage Instructions

When I make this dish, I rarely have leftovers. However, if you would like to save some of the baked cod for the next day, I would suggest you keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within two days.
