Old Bay Panko-Crusted Cobia
with Corn on the Cob & Roasted Asparagus
- Milk
- Wheat
- Fish
Cobia is a buttery mild fish that’s firm enough to hold together while it cooks, and has an ideal amount of fat to keep it juicy. It’s just about a perfect fish—you’ll love it! Here, we coat cobia fillets with crunchy, buttery panko and bold, punchy Old Bay seasoning and roast it along with salt-and-pepper asparagus. Serve this delicious fish with a drizzle of Old Bay-spiced crema, plus corn on the cob on the side.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus. Quarter lemon.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. • Reserve half the sauce in a separate small bowl.
• Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. • Let cool slightly, then stir in panko and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the Old Bay Seasoning—we sent more!)
• Toss asparagus on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet). • Lightly oil empty side of baking sheet (for 4, use a second baking sheet). Pat cobia dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. • Place cobia on oiled side of sheet; brush tops with a thin layer of reserved sauce. Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Roast on top rack (for 4, roast asparagus on top rack and cobia on middle rack) until crust is golden brown and fish is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
• Wrap corn on the cob in damp paper towels. Microwave until kernels are tender and corn is warmed through, 3-4 minutes. (Work in batches for 4 servings.)
• Cut corn on the cob into smaller pieces if desired. • Divide cobia, corn, and asparagus between plates. Drizzle remaining sauce over cobia and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
It's a firm white fish, very mild flavor, it kind of reminds me of shark. The recipe was super easy to prepare and delicious! I definitely recommend it!
Excellent. I would like to see cobia offered more often. The old bay seasoning was a perfect complement to the mild fish.
Made one for dinner and saved the second meal for lunch the next day - still delicious and the crunch did not get soggy.
Great quality and tasting fish. Buttery mild white flaky fish.
Both corn and asparagus were fresh. The fish was also fresh and tasty. Great meal.
The sauce was very good but looked nothing like the picture. Only adding a tsp of the Old Bay seasoning did not change the color of the sauce at all. Still a very easy and delicious meal.
Very salty if you use the listed amount of Old Bay. I used half and it was still really salty.
We loved it. Never had cobia before and with the old bay seasoning.. chef's kiss
Great fish and combination of flavors. Corn not the best
For the price, there should be larger portions of asparagus.
