What is a good way to cook cod?

Question

I have one cod fillet and don't know what to do with it! Any chefs out there?

Answer 1

4-6 cod fillets, cut into 1 1/2 chunks
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon tumeric
1 teaspoon salt

Answer 2

I like to just dip it into a beaten egg with a little cream mixed in (1-2 tsp) and then in bread crumbs and then pan fry in about an inch of oil till golden on each side.

Answer 3

Pan fry in butter. Anything else, I find, detracts from the taste of the cod.

Answer 4

It's simple but sprinkle it with lime juice and lemon pepper seasoning.

Answer 5

I use Lamond butter and a lil dill sprinkled all over it then baked or broiled.
