We love this recipe for Baked Cod.
It’s simple and fast! The fish comes out tender and flaky every time. It’s light fresh and a healthy alternative to red meat.
Ingredients
COD If fillets are too large, replace them with cod loins which are shorter but fatter. They will take longer to cook and a meat thermometer should be used to make sure they’re baked fully through. Both cuts of cod can be found fresh or frozen! SAUCE Lemon juice and butter are an ideal match for the mild, buttery flavor of cod. TOMATOES Roasted tomatoes give the dish a savory flavor and a pop of color. BASIL Fresh herbs are the perfect way to finish off this dish before serving. Variation: A light, breaded topping can be made by combining some Panko breadcrumbs with olive oil, lemon zest and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the fish before baking. PRO TIP: Place the baked fish under the broiler for 1 minute for an extra crunchy crust on the top.
How to Bake Cod
It’s so easy to make this luscious and flaky cod, and it just takes a few quick prep steps to perfect fish!
What to Serve with Baked Cod
Roasted Potatoes and Carrots, Creamy Beet Pasta Egg Noodles, or low-carb Creamy Zucchini Noodles. For veggie sides, we like Roasted Brussels Sprouts(which can be cooked right with the tomatoes), And for a salad, try a light and Classic Wedge Salad or Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing.
Leftovers
Keep leftover cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. It makes great leftovers as Fish Tacos! Reheat in the microwave, serve cold over a salad, or tuck into a wrap for a workday lunch. Cod can be frozen for up to two months if wrapped tightly, but the texture won’t be the same once it’s thawed. In this case, use it in soups or stews.
