Place the garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine.
-
3
Add the bread slices and process them into crumbs.
-
4
(You should have 4 cups.)
-
5
Transfer the garlic and bread crumbs to a bowl and mix in the scallions, pepper and salt.
-
6
Add the oil and rub the mixture gently between your hands to moisten the bread crumbs with the oil.
-
7
The mixture should be loose.
-
8
Arrange the blue cod steaks side by side on a nonstick baking sheet.
-
9
Cover with half the crumbs, patting crumbs lightly over the surface of the fillets.
-
10
Place the fillets under the broiler about 5 inches from the heat and cook about 3 1/2 minutes, until the crumbs are nicely browned.
-
11
Gently turn the pieces of fish over with a spatula and pat the remaining seasoned bread crumbs lightly over their surface.
-
12
Then place the fillets under the broiler for another 3 1/2 minutes.
-
13
The crumbs should be thoroughly browned and the fish just cooked through.
-
14
Since cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, check to see if they are cooked by cutting into one.
-
15
If more cooking is needed, turn off the broiler and let the fish remain in the hot oven for three to four minutes.
-
16
Serve immediately, one fillet steak per person, with a wedge of lemon, if desired.
