NOTES
1. Can I use frozen cod? Yes. Thaw completely and pat very dry before seasoning.
2. What if I don’t have parchment? Use aluminum foil packets.
3. How do I know it’s done? The fillet should flake easily and look opaque; a thermometer reads 145 °F (63 °C) in the center.
4. Variations
- Mediterranean: Add capers and a few olives per packet.
- Ginger-sesame: Swap lemon for lime, add sliced scallion and ginger, and finish with sesame oil.
- Herb butter: Dot with a little garlic-herb butter instead of olive oil.
- Fridge: Up to 1 day in an airtight container.
- Reheat: Warm gently at 300 °F (150 °C) for 8–10 minutes; avoid overcooking.
- Freezer: Best enjoyed fresh; cooked cod can turn dry after freezing.
