Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm cod fillets. Fresh cod fillets should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the fillets generously. Cod is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Cook the fillets over medium heat. Cooking the fillets over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Flip the fillets only once. Flipping the fillets too often can cause them to break apart. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Serve with lemon wedges. Lemon wedges add a bright, acidic flavor to the cod fillets. They also help to balance out the richness of the butter and Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Italian-style cod fillets is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. The cod fillets are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with butter, lemon, and Parmesan cheese. Serve the fillets with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
