Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cod fillets and place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen cod?

Yes, you can use frozen cod, but make sure it is completely thawed and patted very dry before seasoning and baking. This prevents the fish from becoming watery.

What other vegetables can I use?

Feel free to substitute or add other quick-cooking spring vegetables like green beans, snap peas, or thinly sliced zucchini. Adjust cooking times as needed for different vegetables.

How do I know when the cod is cooked through?

The cod is cooked when it turns opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking can make the fish dry, so keep an eye on it, especially if fillets are thin.
