Lemon baked cod is a marvel of minimalism, a dish so deceptively simple it verges on genius. You take a fish\u2014an unassuming, mild-mannered cod\u2014dress it in lemon and butter, and let cooking alchemy do the rest. The result? A delicate balance of tangy citrus, savory richness and a crispy coat of seasoned flour that makes you feel like you\u2019ve unlocked some secret recipe.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and melted butter until fully combined. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, paprika and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dip each cod fillet into the lemon juice mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then dredge the fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.<\/p>\n Place the cod fillets in a 13×9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice mixture over the fish. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix the parsley and lemon zest, then sprinkle it over the cooked fillets just before serving.<\/p>\n To store any leftovers, place the cooled baked cod in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to two days. When you’re ready to reheat the dish, warm it in a preheated oven at 350\u00b0 for about 10 minutes, or until it’s heated through. For the best results, avoid microwaving, as it may cause the fish to become rubbery and lose its crispy coating.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze lemon baked cod. Allow the cooked fillets to cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe container. The cod can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat the fillets, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and warm them in the oven at 350\u00b0 until they’re heated through.<\/p>\n You can make lemon baked cod a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to reheat and serve it. To preserve the best texture, avoid preparing it more than a day in advance, as the coating can become soggy. For reheating, place the fillets in a 350\u00b0 oven until they’re warmed through and the coating has crisped up slightly.<\/p>\n Great side dishes to serve with lemon baked cod include roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts. A light, quinoa salad<\/a> or lemon couscous<\/a> complements the flavors of the cod while offering a satisfying grain option. For a heartier meal, creamy mashed potatoes or herbed rice pilaf would round out the plate nicely, absorbing the delicious juices from the fish.<\/p>\n Cod is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and turns opaque in the center. The internal temperature should reach 145\u00b0 on a meat thermometer<\/a> for safe consumption.<\/p>\n Yes, you can use frozen cod, but be sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking to ensure even baking and proper adhesion of the coating.<\/p>\n Fresh lemon juice is recommended for this recipe because it provides a brighter, more natural citrus flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After trying a few baked cod recipes, this was the first fish recipe that got two thumbs up from my picky meat-only eaters.
