Best Baked Cod Recipe
We are about halfway through Lent. Even though I shared, a few weeks ago, the Best Recipe Ideas for Lent, I realized that I haven’t posted some of my favorite seafood ideas yet on the blog. Including this Best Baked Cod Recipe!
We raise cattle and love our beef around here, but having a great seafood or fish option also makes my heart go pitter-patter.
One big drawback of living in the Midwest is how far away I am from an ocean and fresh seafood!
One positive, is that many local grocery stores carry some great seafood options at their meat counters, as well as in their frozen food section.
Which is what I went with when I made these!
Just add a few simple pantry items to make the baked on crust and these cod filets are so good, you won’t need to add anything extra.
Hold the tarter sauce y’all!
Stir together Parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, basil, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.
Pour over the cod filets and bake.
In about 10 to 25 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the fish, you will have a light and delicious meal that the whole family will love.
Just add a side salad or vegetable of choice and dinner is served!

Recipe Notes
Instead of Cod, feel free to use any type of white fish (ex. Tilapia) for this recipe.
Use fresh or frozen fish. Fish can be thawed prior to baking or add about 10 minutes to cooking time if using frozen filets.
