My family absolutely loves fish and any kind of seafood. If I would make some kind of seafood 5 days a week, they would be over the top happy. So needless to say, this is a very requested meal in our house.
My favorite way to enjoy any kind of seafood is battered and fried, but that is definitely not the healthiest way to go! So I came up with this super easy and low carb recipe that my family absolutely loves.
The fish is just lightly seasoned, so it pairs with just about anything really well. Such a great meal you can get on the table in about 15 minutes!

How to Make Baked Cod
- Season Fish. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning evenly over both sides of the fish.
- Butter. Top each fillet with just a little bit of melted butter.
- Bake. Pop the fish in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until it is cooked through, flakey and opaque.
How Long To Bake Cod
It takes about 15 minutes to bake. I like to bake at 375º F and then I start checking it at the 12 minute mark to make sure that I don’t over cook it.
You know fish is done when it is opaque and starting to flake. It should read 145º F on an meat thermometer to ensure that it is fully cooked.

I love that you added beets to this dinner. Not only does it add such a flavor contrast to the cod but is such a pop of color. It all looks fantastic!
This looks so delicious and tasty! My daughter and I are going to love this recipe!
Gave this a try for dinner last night and it didn’t disappoint! Even my picky eaters gobbled this up! Delicious!
This cod looks incredibly delicious!! YUM!

Looks delicious, Erin! I’ve never paired beets with fish, but what a great idea and a great meal for any night of the week.
I love a good cod recipe! This one was amazing and I cannot wait to make it again!
The blog says 375 and the recipe says 350; I’m confused.
You really can use either, the difference isn’t enough that it would change the recipe at all. But I update them to match.
