Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and a greased rack.

Step 2

In a 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add panko; cook and stir until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Off heat, transfer panko to a medium bowl. Stir in parsley; let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, egg yolk, and lemon zest together. Use paper towels to pat cod fillets dry; season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Working with one fillet at a time, spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over top. Dredge coated side with panko mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet, crumb side up.

Step 5

Bake until cod flakes apart when gently prodded with paring knife and registers 145 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 6

Use oven mitts to remove baking sheet from oven. Transfer fillets to serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges.
