Is cod healthy to eat?
There are two types of cod that you will find in the store, Atlantic Ocean cod and Pacific Ocean cod. Both are fine in this recipe. But Pacific cod will give you thicker and larger fillets. Both types of cods are great sources of omega 3 fatty acids that are great for the heart. They are also both packed with lean protein and vitamin B-12. Cod is known for being a little higher in sodium, but overall if you eat it in moderation it can be a very healthy option. Overall though Cod can be a great choice for your diet if eaten in moderation. -
How do you bake cod fish?
Baking cod is easy, but if you can, cook your cod in a cast iron skillet. If you still want to bake it cod, Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a baking dish. Add your seasoning and butter mixture to the cod. Bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Actual cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fish. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

My family loved this. I had frozen fillets. I seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper and baked them at 450 for 10 minutes. Then I removed the pan from the oven added the topping and returned it to the oven for another 10 minutes. I didn’t change anything else but I thought someone else might need to make it using frozen fillets
I used frozen Pacific cod for the first time. The fish came out a little too chewy.
This recipe is so good and so easy. The sauce comes together in minutes and the end result tastes like heaven. I paired my fish with wild rice and veggies (1x green (broccoli, asparagus, brussell sprouts) 1x sweet). YUMM
Best recipe ever! I boiled small potatoes until almost done and put them in with the fish, covering them with mixture. Delicious!
Delicious!!
I made this with a side of boiled broccoli and Jasmine rice.
I added butter to both and lemon juice to the rice 🙂
Everybody is stuffing their faces!
This was very tasty on top of some fresh cod I spotted at the store. The texture was a little “different” though so I wonder if you could do it without the flour and less butter? I’ll experiment next time.
Richel I like your recepis but I would like to see in ” metric ” as WELL, PLEASE
THANKS, Sophie
You’ll find an option for “metric” just after the list of ingredients in her recipes. Hope this helps!
I had it with roasted cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and red onions. It was delicious
Really delicious and simple! I didn’t use all of it because I didn’t want to overpower the fresh fish. Glad I cut back because the dish was great!
Easy and delicious. Will make this again.
So delicious! The cod was perfectly cooked, moist, flaky. The tartness of the lemon blended beautifully with the garlic and cheese. I didn’t have freshly grated parmesan, but used a 4 cheese blend. So very good. Will absolutely make this again.
This recipe deserves 10stars! We’re just eating the food, we’re amazed! Thank you soooo much!
Excellent taste. Used Icelandic Cod and was so delicious with it. Will definitely be having again.
