HOW TO BAKE CODFISH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a metric oven, this is 205 degrees Celsius.
• Clean the fish under cold water. Once the cod has been cleaned, pat it gently with a clean paper towel to absorb any excess water, especially if the cod has been frozen and was recently defrosted.
• Tear off a piece of aluminum foil twice as long and twice as wide as each piece of cod. You will repeat this process for each piece of codfish that you plan to bake. The fish will be wrapped in this foil pouch while it cooks.
• Lay one piece of codfish diagonally onto each piece of foil. Turn the edges of the foil up slightly so that you still have full access to the fish but so that no juices or ingredients can exit the foil.
• Add any spices that you wish to add. This is a personal choice, but excellent additions to baked cod include salt, pepper, parsley, tarragon, red pepper, thyme, rosemary, and lemon. Cod is relatively mild-flavored, however, so you have a lot of options for experimentation. There are specific recipes in the "Variations" section below.
• Add thin pats of butter on top of the fish. This provides some necessary oil and fat for cooking. For a healthier option, drizzle the fish with olive oil.
• Pull the sides of each foil packet up around the codfish until you have made an envelope that completely encloses the fish. Fish should be tightly packaged and unable to shift or move inside the foil package.
• Put the foil packets containing the cod onto a cookie sheet. Lay the foil packets side by side, not stacking any of them, to ensure that all the fish gets properly cooked.
• Bake the cookie sheet full of cod for 20 minutes. Don't worry about moving or adjusting the fish, the foil will ensure that it all cooks evenly.
• Remove the cod packets from the oven and check each foil packet to ensure the fish has been properly cooked. The fish should be white, flaky, and firm. Serve and enjoy!
