    5 Baked Cod with Chimichurri

    Chilean sea bass and cod are my favorite fish! It cooks in minutes, you don’t need to season it with lots of spices, and it’s low in calories. For more of my favorite recipes, check out this cod piccata, baked Chilean sea bass, and skillet cod with tomatoes onions and peppers.

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and complete instructions.

    • Cod – Fresh or frozen cod fish works. If using frozen, make sure to thaw completely and get rid of any excess water.
    • Parsley – Not to be confused with cilantro!
    • Olive Oil – Use the best quality olive oil you can get your hands on.
    • Lemon – Optional.
    • Red Chili – I used a small red chili but feel free to use red pepper flakes instead.
    • Salt and Pepper – You’ll need to season both the cod fish and the chimichurri sauce!

    HOW TO MAKE IT

    • Bake the fish. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and drizzle the cod fish with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 10 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked through.
    • Prepare the chimichurri sauce. Finely chop the fresh parsley, garlic, and red chili. Combine all of the chimichurri ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Pour the chimichurri sauce over the fish. The second the fish comes out of the oven, drizzle it with a little bit of lemon juice, and pour the chimichurri over each fillet.

    PRO TIPS

    • Take the cod fish out of the fridge for at least 20 minutes before cooking. This will ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
    • Fish cooks extremely quickly, especially at 400 degrees, I recommend checking it at the 10-minute mark.
    • For best results, use the freshest cod, best quality olive oil, and freshest parsley you can find!
    • Season the fish generously with lots of Kosher salt and black pepper.
    • Pat dry each cod fillet with a paper towel before seasoning, to remove any excess moisture.

    STORAGE & REHEATING

    Although I never recommend reheating fish, because it tends to overcook and become dry, you absolutely can! If you have any leftovers, place them in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Make sure to give the chimichurri sauce a good stir before serving.
