Tips for Perfectly Baked Cod
Even fillets: Use fillets of similar thickness for uniform cooking.
Don’t overcook: Cod cooks quickly; overbaking dries it out.
Add veggies: Cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers make a complete meal.
Enhance flavor: A splash of white wine or drizzle of lemon juice before serving brightens the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with roasted potatoes, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Serve with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
Add a side salad or garlic bread for a complete, balanced meal.
