Easy Sheet Pan Baked Cod! Have a healthy and delicious dinner on the table in under 30 minutes and with minimal effort.
The spring break bug has hit me and I’m so ready to go somewhere and for spring! It’s 66 degrees outside right now and glorious. The kids have their spring break in April. . April?! I’ve never heard of spring break being in April but ours is in April. So, alas we have another four weeks or so until then.
I know it might not seem this way but lately, I’ve had no desire to be in the kitchen. I just want short, easy, no fuss meals .. and healthy, or at least healthy-ish! We’ll be eating this way for the next month or so.
Easy Sheet Pan Baked Cod
Truth be told, I’m not the biggest fan of cod. I do love good black cod recipe. What is difference between cod and black cod? Black Cod is a white and fatty meat, with a velvety texture and buttery flavor. Regular Cod meat is white and flaky, but firmer and leaner. Both have a mild flavor like most white fish. One of my favorite restaurants to grab sushi back in Madison, Wisconsin had a great Miso Black Cod recipe that was so good! I’ve found some recipes online and need to try that soon!
In the meantime, I got some cod in my latest Butcher’s Box delivery and so this sheet pan dinner happened. I hope you give this a try!
