LEMON-PARSLEY BAKED COD
After trying a few baked cod recipes, this was the first fish recipe that got two thumbs up from my picky meat-only eaters. The tangy lemon gives the cod fish some oomph. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

LEMON AND PARSLEY WHOLE BAKED FISH
We are catching plenty of fish right now so I need ways to use them! I found this on the Bigpond site, but changed it to suit us and the ingredients I had on hand. We have a tiny oven so took the head off our fish so's it'd fit, but you can leave yours on if you prefer. We used a spangled emperor which is a relative of snapper and bream. We thought this was delicious.

BAKED ROCKFISH WITH LEMON & PARSLEY BUTTER
Steps:
- First make the lemon and parsley butter. Grate the zest of the lemon. Chop the leaves of the parsley. Peel and finely dice the shallot, put it in a bowl, and squeeze lemon juice over to just cover. Let the shallot macerate in the juice for 10 minutes, then add the butter, lemon zest, and parsley. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and mash the butter to mix everything together.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish or roasting pan, or line with parchment paper. Place the fillets in the baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and moisten lightly with olive oil. Bake the fish for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until just cooked through but still moist. Serve with a spoonful of the parsley butter on top of each fillet.
- Notes
- Make the butter with another herb or combination of herbs (basil, chervil, chives, fennel, tarragon). If you like anchovies, add 3 or 4 chopped salt-packed anchovy fillets to the butter.
- Season and oil the fillets and wrap in fig leaves, grape leaves, or fennel branches for added flavor and to keep them moist while baking.
- Bake a whole fish at 375°F; it will take longer than fillets. If you like, make several diagonal cuts through the flesh to the bone for faster cooking. Season the fish and stuff the cavity of the fish with fresh herbs. If you have access to large branches of fennel or other herbs, wrap the whole fish in the branches and tie them closed before baking.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: For this recipe, a whole fish weighing between 1 and 1.5 kilograms is ideal. Suitable types of fish include sea bass, trout, or bream.
- Prepare the fish: Clean and gut the fish, removing the gills and scales. Make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to help the marinade penetrate.
- Make the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
- Marinate the fish: Place the fish in a large bowl or baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl or dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Bake the fish: Place the marinated fish in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is done when the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with your desired sides.
Conclusion:
This lemon and parsley whole baked fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of lemon, parsley, and garlic creates a bright and flavorful crust, while the fish remains moist and tender inside. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
