Lemon-Panko Cod

Lemon on lemon on lemon kind of night.  I can never get enough lemon, I add it to almost everything.  I decided instead of adding it as an afterthough tonight I would spotlight it.  I put lemon in the panko breading for this fish and added it to the  jasmine rice.  I have a garden full of mint and wanted to include that also.  This meal leaves you feeling refreshed but satisfied.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

4 pieces of cod fish

1 C  panko

1 lemon (juice + zest)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sea salt
