Baked cod is a quick and easy dish,and if you don't add a lot of fattyingredients,it can be healthy as well. The mild taste of cod can be dressed up with a variety of herbs and vegetables,but if you're in a hurry,baked cod can be as simple as drizzling butter and lemon over a thawed filet and sliding it into the oven.Generally speaking,baked cod is ready to eat in about 15 to 20 minutes,though it tends to dry out while cooking,so remember to use a little olive oil,butter or basting liquid to keep it moist.

纸包鳕鱼是制作简单快捷的一道菜,如果你不放很多富含脂肪的原料,还是一份健康的美食。鳕鱼的清淡芳香可以配上各种香草或蔬菜,如果匆忙的话,给肉片涂上一些黄油或柠檬,放入烤箱即可。一般而言,纸包鳕鱼烤15分钟到20分钟就可食用。烤的时候,鱼肉很容易变干,所以最好放一点橄榄油、黄油或涂油以保持肉质鲜嫩。
