Grilled Lemon Herb Cod
One of the simplest ways to cook cod is on the grill. This Grilled Lemon Herb Cod recipe is packed with flavor yet takes only minutes to prepare. Start by marinating the cod fillets in olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for about 20 minutes. Preheat your grill on medium heat and place the fillets directly on the grill grates or use a grilling basket. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve with grilled vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
Baked Parmesan Crusted Cod
If you prefer oven-baked dishes, try this Baked Parmesan Crusted Cod recipe which offers a crispy texture without much fuss. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat each cod fillet with melted butter and then press into a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed broccoli or mashed potatoes.
Cod Fish Tacos
Transform your simple cod into flavorful tacos. For these Cod Fish Tacos, start by seasoning the fish fillets with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper before cooking them either in the oven at 375°F (190°C) or on the grill until flaky—about 10-12 minutes depending on thickness. Warm soft tortillas in another pan while you cook the fish. Once done, flake it into pieces and serve in tortillas topped with shredded cabbage or lettuce and drizzled with lime crema made from sour cream mixed with lime juice.
Mediterranean Style Baked Cod
For those who enjoy Mediterranean flavors; this Mediterranean Style Baked Cod recipe is sure to impress. Preheat your oven again at 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish lay down sliced tomatoes along with olives and capers as a base; season lightly with salt and pepper before placing seasoned cod fillets atop them drizzled generously with olive oil. Bake uncovered for approximately 15-18 minutes until cooked through while allowing those delicious flavors to meld together beautifully.
Spicy Garlic Butter Cod Skewers
For something fun like skewers that you can cook indoors or outdoors; Spicy Garlic Butter Cod Skewers are ideal. Cut fresh cod into chunks then toss them in melted butter mixed thoroughly together alongside minced garlic & crushed red pepper flakes giving it that kick. Thread onto skewers while alternating between bell peppers & zucchini slices—grilling these takes around just 10-12 mins flipping once halfway through perfectly infusing all those spices throughout making an excellent appetizer or main course dish.
