Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I bake cod at 400°F?
Bake 10 to 15 minutes at 400°F. Use the rule of about 10 minutes per inch of thickness measured at the thickest part. The fish is done when it turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork, or reaches 145°F internal temperature.
How much Lakeshore Shallot and Herb should I use per fillet?
For a typical 4 to 6 ounce fillet, start with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste. Lightly coat the fish with olive oil first so the blend sticks and flavors evenly.
Can I use frozen cod and how do I cook it?
You can cook from frozen, but thawing gives better texture. To thaw, place overnight in the refrigerator or use cold running water for faster thawing. If baking from frozen, add about 8 to 12 minutes and cover with foil to keep the fish moist.
What are good substitutions for olive oil or the herb blend?
You can swap olive oil for melted butter or ghee for a richer flavor. If you do not have the Lakeshore blend, mix shallot or onion powder with dried parsley, thyme, and a pinch of salt.
How do I avoid overcooking the cod?
Check the fish at the earlier end of the time range. Look for opaque color and flakiness. Use an instant-read thermometer and remove at 145°F. Let the fillet rest a minute or two before serving to finish cooking gently.
What sides pair well with this shallot and herb baked cod?
Keep it simple: a mixed greens salad, roasted or mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, rice pilaf, or crusty bread all work great. A lemon wedge brightens the dish.
How should I store and reheat leftovers?
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within two hours and use within 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven until warm to avoid drying. You can also reheat briefly in the microwave on low power.
