I have 1kg of lovely fat fresh blue cod fillets I need to cook for my family tonight.
Hubby is having an endoscopy tomorrow and needs a light meal tonight with no fat or spices, so I thought I'd bake it in the oven. I don't know how long to cook it or how to make it look and taste good while keeping it plain. Any suggestions?
Thanks. I usually pan fry them, but this time I have to be fat free so the dr can see tomorrow.

i wrap mine in tin foil in indivuadual (sp) parcels with lemon salt and pepper and dill and they only take 12 mins. Preheat your oven 1st. 30 mins is far too long for fish.

you could also poach in milk then turn the milk into a white sauce with a bit of chopped parsley.Good luck to the old fella with the endoscopy hope they only find fixable things.
Funny thing with Blue Cod, my wife was raised on the Chathams and absolutely hates blue cod won't let me cook them in the house because of the smell I don't mind it myself when we fished out of Napier for a while we used to catch a fair bit but would always give it away or fed it to the cat, kept the neighbours happy though.
