Keto Baked Cod Recipes

LEMON BAKED COD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). You can bake the cod fillets from frozen or thaw them first in a bowl of cold water. (I prefer thawing if you have time, as it makes it easier to brush on the butter without solidifying.)

QUICK AND EASY KETO COD RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the garlic-herb butter by combining all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the garlic, herbs, and salt are evenly distributed throughout the softened butter.
• Transfer the butter mixture to the center of a sheet of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Wrap tightly and place inside the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to become firm.
• Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat cod filets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Add filets to hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they become golden brown. Reduce heat to medium and carefully flip each fillet. Top each filet with an equal amount of herb butter and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. While cooking, spoon the herb butter back over the filets as it melts.
• Remove from heat and transfer fillets to individual serving plates. Drizzle with melted herb butter and garnish with some fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
• Serve immediately with some oven-roasted asparagus tossed with remaining herb butter from skillet or your choice of sides. Enjoy!

KETO BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Add the pork rind crumbs, parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to a small bowl,and stir to combine well.
• Mix together the white cooking wine and other 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a separate bowl. Dip and soak each piece of fish in the wine mixture, and place on a baking sheet.
• Add salt and pepper to taste to both sides of the fish.
• Top the fish with the pork rind crumb mixture, and carefully pour the remaining butter/wine mixture on top.
• Bake for 20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.

PARMESAN BAKED COD RECIPE (KETO, LOW CARB, GF)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the grated Parmesan on a dinner plate and add the garlic powder and paprika.
• Wash the lemon and pat it dry. Cut it in half and make zest from one of the halves by using a zester or grater to shave off the yellow part of the skin, adding it to the cheese mixture.
• Rinse the parsley and pat it dry. Cut it with scissors or chop it before adding it to the cheese mixture. Toss the cheese mixture with a fork to blend it.
• Rinse the fish in cold water and rub your thumbs along the surface to see if there are any bones to remove. Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
• Melt the butter in a small pan on the stove or microwave it in a bowl. Set up an assembly line from left to right with the fish, the butter, the cheese mixture, and the sheet pan.
• Use a fork to dip each piece of fish in the butter on both sides, then in the cheese mixture, coating both sides and patting the topping onto the cod with the fork. Place the coated fish onto the sheet pan, top with any excess melted butter and bake for 15 minutes. The cod is done when it can be easily flaked with a fork.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the fish and serve with bread for dipping in the garlic butter (you can place the pan on the table for informal dinners) or spoon the butter over rice, mashed potatoes or polenta. Store leftover cod in the refrigerator for up to three days.
