Lemon, Parsley, Parmesan Baked Cod (crunchy topping included)

I consider myself to be a minimalist in the kitchen.

I don’t mind having countless dry ingredients on hand, but I prefer to limit the amount of fresh ingredients I purchase during the week, to keep food waste minimal.

I think most of us can agree that we waste more food then we need to.

This recipe is great for days when you want to use what’s already in your fridge/pantry.
