There’s nothing quite like a good roasted fish on a summer night. Cod is a nice, thick white fish with a nice firm bite to it. We absolutely love cod, and when we came across some the other day we just had to give it a go! The topping on this was just amazing and full of flavor. It was perfect. You’ll notice I had several different thicknesses on the filet, and yes, I did defer their cooking time so that everything came out equal. The zing from the lemon juice makes for lemony goodness on a wonderful piece of cod. Side note: does anyone else think of Captain Hook when cooking cod?
Cod Substitutes: If you can’t find cod, or would like to just add more variety of fish into your diet, you could always try: Haddock Pollack Stripped Bass Mahi Mahi Grouper Fresh vs. Dried Basil: Certain times of year it is just difficult to find good quality fresh basil. If necessary, you can swap out the fresh basil for 2 teaspoons of dried basil. Lemon Juice: We highly recommend fresh squeezed lemon juice and not a store bought bottled variety. There is nothing quite like fresh lemon juice on roasted cod fish. Trust us, you’ll want to have an extra lemon on hand to squeeze a bit extra on top when serving.
