I jazzed up my baked cod by adding lots of veggies! I laid out trimmed asparagus, fresh spinach and sliced cherry tomatoes. Sprinkled with any bits of remaining parmesan topping and everybody will be begging for more!

What’s in Parmesan Baked Cod?
It’s a simple dish – that you can customize with your favorite seasonings. Here’s what I used:
- 1 lb cod (2 fillets) – I used the Lingcod that came in my Salmon Sitka Shares box!
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated – you’ll notice – no breadcrumbs – I think the cheese was just right!
- 2 tsp lemon herb seasoning – you could easily swap this with Italian seasoning or whatever you like on your seafood
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
What’s the best way to bake fish?
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a breading tray, mix together the Parmesan, lemon herb seasoning, garlic, parsley and salt.
- Drizzle the cod with olive oil and then dredge in the cheese mixture, pressing it in lightly with your fingers.
- I decided to add veggies to this by laying out trimmed asparagus, spinach and sliced cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle all of that with olive oil, salt & pepper.
- Transfer fish with cheese topping to the baking sheet on top of the spinach. Top cod with any leftover cheese mixture.
- Bake until the fish is opaque in the thickest part, about 10-15 minutes.
- Small/thin veggies like these cook in the same time!
Where do you get the best cod?
I’ve just started working with Salmon Sitka Shares and love it! (They have way more than just salmon!) They work with small family fish farms in Alaska to bring quality, fresh-caught fish from the boat to your door. When I visited Alaska – I met with salmon fishermen and know how they’re working to rebuild America’s seafood supply through healthy, sustainable fishing.
With Salmon Sitka Shares – you get $25 off your first Premium Share with my code TFHFish
- You will receive a box of fresh caught fish delivered to your door each month! It’s fresh caught based on the season – with a variety of fish each month from salmon, cod, halibut, crab and more!
- Your fish will be caught with love and care by small-boat family fishermen, many of whom are owners of the company, and all of whom take great pride in harvesting you the best fish.
- You will be completely satisfied with anything and everything you receive. If you aren’t, just let us know and we’ll refund your purchase price or replace your fish with something you’d be happier with that we catch.
