Description
An easy baked cod recipe that comes together in 25 minutes! Bold Mediterranean flavors from fresh cilantro, garlic and lemon juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4-6 Cod fillet pieces about 4-oz each
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
For the Pistachio Cilantro Pesto:
- 2 packed cups fresh cilantro, stems removed
- 1/3 cup salted shelled pistachios
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pat the fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides, then place on a lightly oiled baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the heated oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pistachio cilantro pesto. Place the cilantro, shelled pistachio and garlic in your food processor. Pulse until well-chopped. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- When ready, remove the baked cod fillets from the oven and arrange them on a serving platter or individual dishes. Top each fish fillet with a generous spoonful of the pistachio cilantro pesto, then add the diced tomatoes. Enjoy with a side of rice, quinoa or couscous.
Notes
- Cooking Tip: If you are not too keen on the taste of fresh garlic, you can add the garlic to roast with the fish for just 5 minutes; this should help take the edge off.
