Baked Cod in Parchment is a delicious and healthy weekday meal. Cod is a lean white fish with a mild taste and firm structure, which makes it ideal for this recipe. The fish is wrapped in a baking paper package with fresh vegetables, mozzarella, and herbs and cooked in the oven. This gives you a fish with lots of flavor and perfectly cooked vegetables. So good!
Baked Cod with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes
Cod is a fish I like to use in my cooking because it is versatile. I regularly make cod recipes such as cod with white wine sauce, risotto with zucchini, and cod and cod casserole with rösti. All very different but so tasty.
This recipe for Baked Cod in Parchment is also a winner. The cod is slowly cooked with celery, cherry tomatoes, and shallot, which gives it a lot of flavor. A delicious topping of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and basil completes the dish.
You can prepare them quickly by baking them in the oven. You can serve this dish within 20 minutes, and the delicious smell makes it difficult to wait before eating. When I put this on the table, everything is eaten to the last bite. Is that the case with you, too?
