Notes

Cod is great in this recipe, but any mild white fish will work! Grouper, mahi mahi, pollack, or even tilapia would all work in place of cod.

Season. Season. Season. And then season some more! This dish is SO simple! And with just 10 ingredients, it’s really important to adequately season with salt and pepper to bring out the flavors of the simple ingredient list.

Trust your gut on the cook time for the fish. The easiest way to tell if fish is cooked through is to test it with a fork. Gently poke the thickest part of the fish with a fork and twist the fork a bit. If the fish flakes easily, it is done! If the fish does not flake easily, give it a little more simmer time.
