What other herbs can I use?

Thyme, oregano, or chives would also work wonderfully in this recipe. Feel free to experiment with your favorite fresh herbs.

How do I know when the fish is cooked?

Cod is cooked when it becomes opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
