Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pieces of fresh cod or 2 pieces any flaky fish
3 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh

3 tablespoons white wine

Provided by Christine Hadden

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb cod fillets
1/2 c sour cream
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp chopped parsley, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
OPTION TOPPING INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 c seasoned panko crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • 2. In a bowl stir together sour cream, zest, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Spread the mixture over the cod fillets. Place fillets on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
  • 3. If panko topping is desired, stir together the panko and butter and press on the tops of fillets.
  • 4. Bake 425 for 10-12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cod fillets: Look for fillets that are firm, plump, and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy, discolored, or have an off odor.
  • Pat the fish dry before baking: This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in a single layer: This will help to prevent the fish from overcrowding and steaming.
  • Season the fish with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Bake the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides: Lemon-baked cod pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Lemon-baked cod is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that is easy to make. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
