Cooking Tips

• Choose fresh cod fillets for the best flavor and texture.
• To check if the fish is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily and be opaque.
• Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry and lose its flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover baked cod can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the cod in a baking dish with a little broth or sauce, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 350掳F (175掳C) until warmed through.
• Serve the baked cod with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, and a drizzle of the beurre blanc sauce.
