COD BAKED IN FOIL - BITTMAN



Cod Baked in Foil - Bittman image

This is from Bittman's book, The Best Recipes in the World", in which he says that in Rome, it would typically be made with bass or turbot. However, he also said it can be made with any fillet you like and chose to write up the recipe with cod. There are also variations in the notes for using some vegetables with it too, along with making it in a covered baking dish.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 to 2 pounds thick cod fillet, cut into 4 equal pieces
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or basil leaves
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Put a baking pan in the oven and preheat it to 400°F. Take 8 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, and place one piece on top of the other (you will make 4 packages). Rub the fish with some of the olive oil; it should be nice and moist. Season it with salt and pepper and put it on a piece of the foil. Sprinkle with garlic and parsley and fold the foil onto itself, crimping the edges as tightly as possible. Repeat the process. (You can refrigerate the packages until you're ready to cook, no more than 6 hours later.)
  • Put the packages in the baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes (or about 8 minutes from the time it starts sizzling). Let sit for a couple of minutes before carefully slitting open the packages. Then spoon out the fish and serve with the lemon.

Bake at 350°F to 400°F until the fish is cooked through (the fish is done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into the thickest part meets little resistance), 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature before starting to cook the cod. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly throughout. - Use a good quality aluminum foil that is thick enough to prevent tearing. You can also use parchment paper, but be sure to grease it lightly to prevent the fish from sticking. - Place the cod on a bed of vegetables or herbs in the foil packet. This will help to flavor the fish and prevent it from drying out. - Drizzle the cod with olive oil or melted butter, and season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. - Fold the foil packet tightly around the fish, making sure to seal it well. This will help to keep the moisture in and prevent the fish from drying out. - Bake the cod for the recommended amount of time, or until it is cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. - Let the cod rest for a few minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute. - Serve the cod with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Baked cod in foil is a healthy and delicious way to cook fish. It is a simple and easy recipe that can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked cod turns out perfectly every time. Enjoy this versatile and flavorful dish for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
