How to Broil Cod

August 20th, 2018

For Flaky Fish Fast

Perfectly broiled Pacific Cod is a quick, practically hands off way to prepare this mild and flaky variety of white fish — a cooking method you’ll be able to put to use anytime you’re craving a weeknight dose of seafood. The high temperature of the broiler guarantees that even the thickest fillet of Pacific Cod will be done in under 10 minutes, and there’s no flipping or fussing required. Just don't step away from the oven, since even a single minute too long under the broiler can have a big impact on the doneness of fish!

Once you've mastered the basic technique for broiling Pacific Cod, you’ll be able to start using it as a versatile protein for tacos, sandwiches, or rice bowls. All you have to do is dress it up with a spice blend that matches your food mood.


Simple Tips for Perfectly Broiled Pacific Cod

  • Pat the Pacific Cod fillet dry to remove excess moisture.

  • Sufficiently preheat your broiler to ensure a quick, intense blast of heat. 

  • Keep a close eye on doneness.

 

How to Broil Pacific Cod

Gather your materials and ingredients: Your fillet(s), tea towel or paper towels, high-heat cooking oil, salt and pepper, oven-safe pan or dish

Preheat broiler, using the highest setting. Meanwhile, pat Pacific cod fillet dry with a tea towel or paper towel, then lightly coat all sides of fillet with oil.

 

seasoning raw pacific cod fillets

Add salt and pepper, as well as any other dry seasonings to the fillet. We suggest warm spices like chili powder, paprika, and cumin, as they brown nicely under the broiler.

Broil until fish flakes easily with a fork, or internal temperature of fillet reaches 130F at its thickest part for medium doneness, about 5 or 6 minutes.
