Baked Cod Recipe in 20 Minutes (Baked Fish Recipe)

Cod is a relatively mild fish making it a good choice for people who don’t like fish including children. It blends well with the ingredients you add to it taking on their flavors. A simple approach is used here: a squeeze of lemon juice some crushed garlic and olive oil are cooked down along with a knob of butter and some fresh chopped parsley to make a bright and flavorful sauce that is spooned over the boneless skinless cod pieces before they are cooked. This dish takes about 20 minutes to prepare.

Serve with a green salad with a vinaigrette or steamed vegetables or a vinegar and oil coleslaw. This baked cod pairs particularly well with nutty delicate whole grains (and grainy sides) as a side dish such as brown rice quinoa millet or barley. Cauliflower rice would also be delicious here.
