Tips:

For the best results, use fresh or thawed cod fillets. Frozen cod can be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
To ensure even cooking, cut the cod fillets into uniform pieces.
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. Other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, can also be used.
Bring the water to a boil before adding the cod fillets. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking.
Reduce the heat to low once the water is boiling and simmer the cod fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Do not overcook the cod fillets, as this will make them tough and dry.
Serve the boiled cod fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a creamy sauce.
