How to Cook Pacific Cod Cakes from Frozen

Wild Alaskan Company’s Pacific Cod Cakes make it easy to enjoy one of Alaska’s most beloved species of white fish at home — no prep or thawing required. Made with thoughtfully selected ingredients like farmhouse cream cheese, avocado oil, and cassava flour, these gluten-free, egg-free cod cakes let the naturally delicate, mild flavor of Pacific cod take center stage. These cod cakes are designed to go straight from the freezer to the oven or air fryer for a nourishing meal in minutes.

Prepared with vibrant, single-origin herbs and spices, grown on small farms, these cod cakes pair beautifully with a spicy mayo, a crisp green slaw, or roasted vegetables. They're a delicious addition to anyone's weekday meal rotations.

For the best texture and easiest handling, cook Pacific Cod Cakes directly from frozen. Because they're made with premium ingredients and without traditional binders like eggs, thawing can make the cakes more delicate and prone to breaking apart.

Air Fry from Frozen (Preferred Method)

The air fryer delivers a golden exterior while keeping the inside tender and flavorful.

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F, if needed.
2. Remove the frozen cod cakes from packaging.
3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to help prevent sticking.
4. Arrange the cod cakes in a single layer, leaving space between each cake for air circulation.
5. Air fry at 400°F for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the cod cakes are heated through and lightly browned on the outside.
6. Let the cod cakes rest for 1 minute before serving.

Bake from Frozen

Baking is a simple, hands-off method that produces evenly cooked cod cakes with a lightly crisp exterior.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
3. Remove the frozen cod cakes from their packaging and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the cod cakes are heated through and lightly browned.
5. Optional: Heat broiler to high and arrange baking sheet with cod cakes 4 to 6 inches away from broiler element. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on top.
6. Let the cod cakes rest for 1 minute before serving.

Serving Tips

Serve Pacific Cod Cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or a smoky mayo. Pair them with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or crispy potatoes for an easy dinner, or enjoy them as part of a casual lunch spread.
