How to cook cod in the oven:

  • To prepare oven baked cod straight from the freezer, pre-heat the oven to 190°C
  • Remove the frozen cod from its packet and place in a foil tray
  • Add a little butter over the fillet until the surface is covered and pop the dish in the oven

How to cook cod in the microwave:

  • Add the dish to the microwave and cook for 5 minutes at 850W
  • Remove the bag from and shake gently
  • Tear or cut the end of the bag with scissors. Be careful as the bag and contents will be piping hot!
  • Ensure the cod is hot and not overcooked. Fully cooked cod should be flaky. If the fish isn’t flaky, return to the microwave for a minute at a time, and repeat until ready

How to cook cod on the grill:

  • Pre-heat the grill to a medium heat (or around 190°C).
  • Remove the cod from its packaging and gently dry with a paper towel
  • Grease a sheet of foil with a little cooking oil
  • Lay the cod in the middle of the foil and feel free to season with lemon, salt, pepper and if you’re feeling fancy… add some parsley!
  • Fold the foil sides around the fish to seal everything together
  • Grill the fish for around 10 minutes, turning over occasionally during cooking
  • Cook until crisp and golden
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
