Perfect Baked Cod

cod filets,

Kosher salt

black pepper

extra-virgin olive oil,

c. cherry tomatoes

lemon, sliced,

garlic cloves,

thyme

tbsp. parsley,

Tip from an old fisherman, place the lemon slices under the fish. The fish will not stick to the bottom and the lemon will seep into the fish as well. 😉

This is the perfect recipe. Simple, flexible and delicious!  I made the recipe as written, employing a couple of suggestions from other reviews. I added white wine and capers to the lemon-garlic sauce and substituted asparagus for the tomatoes. I cooked some spaghetti while the fish and asparagus baked. It took about 20 minutes baking time because I crowded them in a baking dish that was one size too small. Fish and asparagus were perfectly done. The lemon-caper sauce on the pasta was fabulous. Thank you for this great recipe.

Great recipe, sauce was excellent (I did add just a little piece of sliced shallot).  Placing the lemons under the cod was a great suggestion.

Mixed the tomatoes and lemon with orzo to serve, fantastic.

Very light and lovely. I sprinkled Italian breadcrumbs on top. Next time I will triple the garlic and maybe add some white wine to the mix--mine had no sauce.  Maybe add capers too. 

Served with English Peas and a light Pinot Grigio.  Very nice.

First time cooking COD so I gave it a try.

I found this to be bland. Tomatoes tasted great. Cod had no taste. I used thyme seasoning instead of fresh thyme and 2 lemons instead of one. Also I used minced garlic. I know these changes didn't make the world of difference.

Okay, I used this recipe as a <em>guideline. </em>I read the comments, and saw that many thought it was bland, but I thought it definitely had potential - I was right! I at least doubled all of the quantities, and added fresh rosemary and shallots. What I did was mix sliced shallots, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. I coated the bottom of the baking dish with it, saving just enough to put on top of the fish. I then placed the lemon slices down and put the fish right on top (seasoned heavily with salt and pepper, as well as lemon juice). I threw 2 whole crushed garlics in there along with the cherry tomatoes and some springs of thyme and baked. Served over brown jasmine rice (which I sautéed in half a sweet onion (grated), olive oil, and salt and pepper. I also added lemon to the rice. On the side I had some crispy baked herb potatoes. It was to die for! Don't be afraid to season it up.

I had just about given up on cod, and then I found this recipe.  I've made it 3 times now. My husband and I love it. It's really really good!

I used herb de Provence because I ran out of thyme and I crushed the garlic instead of dicing it. It was just delicious!

This was delicious .  I didn’t salt it enough though .  Next time will make sure to add more salt .  The tomatoes were delicious !

Delicious! Surprisingly tasty considering the simple, always in stock items we keep on hand. This will be a weeknight staple from now on.

This is so simple, delicious, and versatile.  I've made it now several times with different fish, herbs, no cherry tomatoes, fine, just cut up regular ones...have made with sliced oranges..yum!!!!  It is the perfect recipe. Our quick go-to dinner now.  :)

This dish was super tasty and very easy for a weeknight meal. I added fresh asparagus for a little extra flavor and it was very very good! Served with rice, it was amazing!

I used dill weed and dill seed, seasoned salt and pepper, 1/2 Tbls butter diced on top, 1/4 C lemon juice over cod. 
350° for 10 minutes, 400° for 10 minutes
Light,  buttery, and flaky -delicious

I love this recipe! It’s fast, healthful, delicious and super easy!!

We enjoyed this very much!  Cooked as written and served with baked potato and corn.  Great summer meal---thank you!
