If you're looking to incorporate more fish into your diet, add this baked cod to your menu. The batter is light and crisps up in the oven. Paprika adds a touch of color and flavor to the fish. Once baked, the cod is perfectly flaky. Just make sure to shake the excess flour off the cod before baking so the coating does not end up...

I made this recipe with tilapia instead of cod and it turned out great. I think tilapia is a good substitute for cod in this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon butter sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was light and flavorful and it didn't overpower the cod.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cod. I made it with some cod that I had leftover from a fish fry and it was delicious.
