BAKED COD RECIPE WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
• In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
• Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
• To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
• Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

BAKED COD RECIPE, FROM FRESH OR FROZEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the capers.
• Place the cod fillets in the baking dish. Pour the butter mixture on top. Use a brush if needed to evenly distribute the thick sauce on top of the fillets. Sprinkle with the paprika.
• Bake, uncovered, until the fish is fully cooked, opaque, and flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of your fish fillets and on your oven, this should take about 15 minutes (25 minutes if using frozen fish).

Steps:

• Prep:
• Marinate the cod fish fillets with ¼ teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Let the cod fish sit for 10 minutes.
• While waiting for the fish to absorb the marinade, make the coating by whisking together flour, paprika, coriander powder, cumin powder, and ½ ounce of parmesan cheese.
• Coat the fish evenly with the above mixture. Set aside.
• Spread baby potatoes, baby carrots, and asparagus on a baking tray, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them and toss together. Remove the asparagus and set aside, save for later.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cook:
• Put the baby potatoes and baby carrots in the oven to bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, sear the coated cod fish. On a cast-iron pan, heat olive oil over high heat. Add the cod fish in. Turn the heat down to medium after 2 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, let it melt and blend with the cod fish.
• Sear the first side of the cod fish for 4 minutes. Flip and continue with the second for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer the seared fish and asparagus onto the baking tray together with the baby potatoes and baby carrots. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F.
• In the meantime, make the sauce. On the same pan used for the cod fish, turn on high heat and add successively to the pan: shallot, 2 tablespoon of butter, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and tomato sauce. Whisk together and turn the heat off.
• Continue to add chicken broth, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the pan. Whisk again to combine. Transfer to a small bowl. Set aside.
• Transfer the baked cod fish onto a clean plate, and drizzle the sauce all over. Sprinkle ½ ounce of parmesan cheese and parsley on top.
• Serve and enjoy.
