BAKED ALASKAN COD RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Arrange top shelf in oven so that it's 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element. Then, preheat oven to 400F.
• Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together breadcrumbs and butter/olive oil, as well as parmesan, garlic, and parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Arrange Pacific cod fillets in a glass casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet, seasoning both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Slip a few lemon slices under fillets. Then, top each fillet with a portion of the breadcrumb mixture. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the fish and drizzle with more olive oil. Place on top rack in oven, then set timer to bake for 6 minutes for thinner fillets, 8 minutes for thicker ones.
• When the timer goes off, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the Pacific cod. At the thickest part, the fish should register at 125F, slightly underdone. If you don't have a thermometer, the Pacific cod should be flaky around the edges but still slightly translucent in the center. Allow to cook for an extra minute or two if still too underdone.
• Then, turn on the broiler. Broil Pacific cod until breadcrumbs turn golden brown, about one or two minutes. Do not allow to burn. Transfer finished Pacific cod to a serving platter and enjoy immediately, spooning any pan juices around the fish to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° and pat cod filets with a paper towel until dry. Season all over with salt and pepper.  Combine olive oil, cherry tomatoes, lemon slices, garlic, and thyme in a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer. Nestle cod pieces into baking dish.  Bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of filets.  Serve garnished with parsley, more lemon juice, and pan sauce.
