Baked Cod with roasted vegetables is one of the best seafood recipes and the results are a moist white flaky flavorful fish in the end topped with vegetables.


This easy baked cod is wonderful on a bed of sauteed spinach with a medley of roasted vegetables on top.


Basic baked cod fish is a versatile variety when it comes to fish it can be made baked, fried, and make a salted cod fish in a tomato sauce called Bacccala on Christimas Eve.


The best part about this Baked Cod with Roasted Vegetables is that it's an all in one pan meal that needs no other side dish and perfect around Easter Lent time when folks eat fish on Friday.


Cod is easy to prepare and cooks up fast for those busy weeknight meals.


Then added toasted bread crumbs on a bed of sauteed spinach makes this simple but so gourmet.


This meal is easy to make and takes a lot less time using fresh or frozen depending on how thick the pieces are.

Keep it simple



Use easy cooking vegetables when making this dish.


Fish cooks quickly and you want to make sure the vegetables are done with the fish.


I don't recommend potatoes unless they are cooked first.


Peppers and onions do well with this dish also.

Topping



When I cook this fish I love the tomatoes sliced very thin so I use a mandolin to slice them.


They cook quickly and taste great with the Parmesan toasted bread crumbs.


We just love tomatoes roasted.

Suggestions

(For those who have allergies to fish or certain vegetables)

  • mashed potatoes
  • escarole
  • broccoli rabe
  • any kinds of squash sauteed first
  • I don't recommend butternut squash unless you parboil it first and the added sweetness doesn't compliment the fish, but great with chicken or pork
  •  use any kinds of seafood, halibut, shellfish, haddock, flounder, cobia, wahoo any kinds will work
  • for those allergic to seafood use boneless chicken or boneless pork
  • Substitute crushed pork rinds for the breadcrumbs for a diabetic-friendly topping

For the Spinach



Here's how I cook my spinach.


I use fresh spinach mostly always.


Add a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan add a few cloves of minced garlic, saute until wilted, salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper.


This time I also added around 1 cup of snap peas with the spinach and sauteed for around 10 minutes.


That's it!

Cod Fish




In our home especially at Or Italian Christmas Eve meal, we always have codfish in sauce, called baccala.


We also deep fry our cod in batter.


This is the perfect summer and fall meal preparing this with roasted vegetables.


Cod is one of those fish that's so versatile, you can use it for just about any recipe.

Thick or Thin Zucchini



If you like zucchini mushy, then slice it thinner, we happen to like ours when it's still a little firm and not too soft.


Cutting them in thicker chunks will keep them soft but not overcooked.

Seasoning



This is a question you can only answer.


If you love dill, oregano, basil, parsley or any other seasonings for fish, adapt this recipe.


Go ahead and substitute fresh lemon or lime juice, do so.


This is a guideline to how I prepare this dish, change it any way you like.


I love spicy and add more cayenne pepper to my spinach, omit it if you don't like spicy food.


Please let me know how you love your fish, I would love to hear from you.

The Wine



The wine makes a big difference, taste it first, if you don't like the taste when drinking it, that wine will ruin the dish.


That's my rule of thumb, if you like it, use it, always buy a good grade wine, I use Pinot Grigio.


More expensive wines tend to taste better when cooking and avoid any kind of cooking wine, they are full of salt.




this is the white wine used pinot grigio for this This is a baked cod fish on a white plate with a fall orange leaf basket in the background, a blue water glass and fork with napkin.

Fresh or Frozen



If you live up north you can find fresh cod.


We always use frozen since we can't get it fresh.


However, you can use other fresh fish if you live in the South that you like.


This baked cod with roasted vegetables is a flavorful easy dish that any seafood lover will appreciate.


The cod is just bursting with delicious flavors and the toasted bread crumbs with Parmesan are the perfect combination on top.
