Easy Baked Cod Recipe
Description
This recipe uses fresh cod fillets that can be baked whole or cut into smaller pieces. The fish is arranged with sliced onions and two types of bell peppers on a baking sheet, all seasoned with garlic parsley salt. Chunks of unsalted butter placed atop the cod provide moisture and a subtle richness as everything bakes together.
Baking at 400°F for about 15 minutes until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F ensures the cod stays moist yet flaky. The vegetables soften and sweeten, complementing the delicate cod without overpowering it. The combination creates a straightforward, balanced baked seafood dish.
After baking, garnish with fresh parsley and green onion to add color and a mild herbal note. This dish works well as a nutritious main course alongside grains or salad.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cod fillet
- 1 cup cherry tomato

Instructions
- Slice the cod fillets into smaller pieces or keep them whole. Next, slice the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
- Place all the vegetables in one layer on the baking sheet. Assemble the cod evenly throughout the pan. Season with garlic parsley salt and add chunks of butter on top of the cod.
- Bake the cod at 400°F for about 15 minutes. It'll be ready once its internal temperature reaches 145°F. Enjoy!
