Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm, flaky texture.
  • Don't overcook the cod. Cod is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the cod until it is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will add a rich, fruity flavor to the cod. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of light-flavored oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Cod is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Try using different herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano, or different spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Serve the cod with a variety of sides. Cod is a great main course that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Lemon Garlic Baked Cod is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is baked in a flavorful lemon garlic sauce and served with a variety of sides. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
