Baked cod | How to bake the perfect fish?
Delicate, juicy fish baked with butter and dill, served with pea purée and roasted potatoes – simple and delicious.
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
Cod
- 4 cod fillets (skinless)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Baked potatoes
- 600 g potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp thyme
- salt to taste
Green pea purée
- 450 g green peas (frozen)
- 50 ml milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into smaller pieces. Transfer them to a baking sheet, add olive oil, thyme, and salt. Toss everything together. Roast for about 30–35 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Add the peas to salted boiling water and cook for about 6–8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to preserve their vibrant colour. Use a food processor or blender to puree the peas with butter, milk, and salt until smooth.
- Wash and pat dry the cod fillets. Place them in a baking dish, season with salt, pepper, and chopped dill on both sides. Top with small pieces of butter. Bake covered for 15–24 minutes at 180°C, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Check the fish a few minutes before the end – if it’s ready, you can remove it, otherwise, bake for a little longer. Enjoy your meal!
