COD CHOWDER FOR TWO

Cod Chowder for Two image

Before my husband developed his severe allergy to white fish, I used to cook it a lot. Found this recipe while going through some older binders. I do remember that the original recipe called for haddock, but I don't really care for haddock and so used cod instead.

EASY BAKED COD FOR TWO

Easy Baked Cod for Two image

I have been trying to get more fish into my diet, but a lot of recipes call for pan frying and deep frying, etc. Well, they wind up being almost as bad as a deep fried twinkie on a stick after all of that. Here is a lovely recipe that you should have everything on hand. It is light and has a refreshing lemon and thyme hint...

Ingredients

2 cod fillets (6 oz ea.) 1 inch thick
3/4 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp dried thyme
pinch of salt
1/16 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp paprika (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat to 400°. Place fillets in a 8x8 or 9x13 in oven safe dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and oil. Sprinkle with garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Sprinkle paprika and gently rub into fillets. Cook until fish is opaque and juicy (about 15 to 20 min, but if frozen, look at cooking time on package). Spoon juices over fish and serve.
2. Note: Check weight if using frozen cod fillets. They are sometimes 3-4 oz each and you may need to use 2 fillets frozen vs 1 6 oz fillet fresh. Cod cooks typically 4-6 minutes at 375 for every 1/2 in thickness of cod.
