Mar 16, 2025 10:44 AM
This healthy Baked Cod recipe is ready in less than 40 minutes, requires very little prep work, and the pop of lemon and jammy tomatoes make it delish. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual fish recipes!
I frequently make baked fish for dinner. It’s easy, it’s healthy, and my family adores it.
When I think of baked fish, however, my brain gets stuck on salmon. But I wanted to break out of that routine!
Enter: this baked cod recipe. While I’ve made Grilled Cod, Pan Fried Cod, and crispy cod like Fish and Chips (a baked cod with panko topping), adding jammy tomatoes and fennel really livens it up.
While on its face, this baked cod recipe is simple, the finishes around it make it superb. It will delight and surprise you in a way that you might not think a fish as humble as cod is capable of doing!
