Tips:
- Use fresh cod: Fresh cod has a mild, delicate flavor that pairs well with the sweet honey pecan glaze. If you can't find fresh cod, you can substitute another firm white fish, such as halibut or tilapia.
- Make sure the cod is fully cooked: Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. The best way to tell if the cod is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If you're baking multiple pieces of cod, make sure there's enough space between them so that they cook evenly. If the pieces of cod are too close together, they will steam rather than bake.
- Watch the glaze: The honey pecan glaze can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's baking. If the glaze starts to brown too much, reduce the oven temperature or cover the baking dish with foil.
Conclusion:
Honey pecan baked cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The sweet and nutty glaze complements the mild flavor of the cod perfectly, and the crispy pecans add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
