Tipps

Use Fresh Cod for Best Results

This recipe shines when you use the freshest cod you can find. Fresh fish should have a mild scent and firm flesh. Frozen cod can also work in a pinch.

Choose Quality Olive Oil

A good quality olive oil will enhance the flavors of the dish. Extra virgin olive oil, which has a more robust flavor, is a good choice for this recipe.

Season the Fish Just Before Cooking

To prevent the fish from drawing out moisture and becoming dry, season it just before you are ready to bake. This helps the fish stay juicy and tender.

Do Not Overcook the Fish

Fish cooks quickly and can become dry if overcooked. Start checking for doneness at the shortest recommended cooking time. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Experiment with Other Fresh Herbs

While parsley and chives are suggested in this recipe, feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like dill, cilantro, or basil depending on your preference and dietary restrictions.

Serving Suggestions

This baked cod pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. You could serve it with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or even a light pasta dish. Remember to keep it low-histamine friendly.
