Parmesan Baked Cod

The tasty fish recipe of the week is this wonderful baked cod. It was so good that I was sorry I had only made one piece for myself because I quite easily could’ve eaten two. This recipe will not work with dried herbs, so don’t even think about it. It’s fresh herbs, or nothing. In the doing, and following the instructions carefully, this is company worthy.

Parmesan Baked Cod

Adapted from laurenslatest.com

 2 cod fillets

¼ c. Duke’s mayonnaise

¼ c. freshly grated Parmesan

 2 T. minced fresh flat leaf parsley

 2 T. minced fresh basil

 1 clove garlic, grated

 Sea salt to taste

 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

A whisper of Old Bay

  Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Place fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet; set aside.

In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, cheese, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. Spread evenly over the top of the fillets. Sprinkle lightly with Old Bay.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish starts looking opaque and flakes.

Switch oven to broiler and brown the tops of the fish until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, watching it carefully so it doesn't burn.

 Remove from oven and serve warm with wedges of lemon.

Cajun Cod

 

This week’s fish dish employs the use of Pacific cod, and is, honestly, my first cod experience. It certainly won’t be my last. The thing I have come to realize about making fish is that it is unbelievably easy, and takes so little time. The hardest part is remembering to take it out of the freezer the night before so that it is thawed and ready for the next day.

 This is a delicious way to bake cod. It is so flavorful, and very attractive on the plate. I served mine with basmati rice and peas.

Cajun Cod

 3 Pacific cod fillets

Salt and pepper

¼ c. butter, melted

1 T. olive oil

1 T. Melissa’s minced garlic

  1 T. Slap Ya Mama

Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle both sides of the cod fillets with salt and pepper, and place into the bottom of a 1½-qt. baking dish.

 In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, and Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning. Spread evenly over the fish.

 Bake for about 15-17 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
