Baked Cod

This recipe for Baked Cod is courtesy of Rasa Malaysia, United States.
This is an easy recipe for excellent cod, perfectly cooked, and delicious. This would work for any white fish and I look forward to preparing this with barramundi. Highly recommended for a simple yet flavorful dish.

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams cod fillets, boneless, skinless, (1 lb)
  • lemon juice, as desired
  • olive oil, as desired
  • salt, as desired
  • cayenne pepper, as desired
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200° C (400° F). You will need a glass baking dish or a baking sheet that you have lined with foil.
  • If using frozen cod fillets, thaw them in the fridge overnight. Rinse each fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Place fillets in the baking dish or on a prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle olive oil on each piece, then drizzle lemon juice on each piece. Sprinkle each piece with salt then cayenne pepper.
  • Place in the heated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, 1-2 minutes longer for very thick fillets. Fish will easily flake with a fork.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

Low cost if using a common whitefish such as pangasius or barramundi. Cod is probably available in the high end markets but is more than likely well above the $1 per serving range.
Variants: 1. Use pangasius or barramundi fillets instead of cod. 2. Use chili powder in place of cayenne pepper.
