This baked breaded cod recipe is one of the easiest and best fish recipes I’ve tried. Which means you can have this healthy, tasty herb crusted baked cod ready to serve in no time.
Blue cod is the main target sea fish in the South Island of New Zealand where I live so it is a fish we often have on hand. It's both nutritious and flavorful loaded with lean protein, vitamins, and minerals. This versatile fish is easy to prepare in multiple ways. Blue Cod fish has a mild flavor, and thick flaky fillets that falls apart easily when cooked which makes it suitable for most cooking methods and a true delicacy!
The New Zealand blue cod is exclusive to New Zealand waters around the rocky coasts. It is more common in the south Island of New Zealand. However any cod or other thick flaky fish is suitable to use as a substitute in this blue cod recipe.
It’s served in room temperature and can easily be made in advance.
The creamy coconut sauce pairs well with the herb crusted blue cod.
Fresh coriander and garlic is blended with bread crumbs for a flavorsome crust. However if you don't like fresh coriander then other soft herbs can be substituted. For example: parsley or chives would work well for this crusted baked cod instead.
Baking the fish rather than frying it gives it a silky smooth texture.
This herb crusted cod baked in the oven served with a coconut curry sauce makes a simple and delicious dinner.
