Categories     Entree

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, (4-6 pieces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
  • Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
  • To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
  • Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cod fillets. Look for fillets that are white and opaque, with no brown or yellow spots. The flesh should be firm to the touch and spring back when you press it gently.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the cod fillets at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for cod include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked cod is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked cod is perfectly cooked and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give baked cod a try!
