What to do With Cod?
I'm on kind of a cooking kick right now and True Cod has been on sale a lot lately and I've been taking advantage of that, having it at least every other week if not every week.
I usually bake it, maybe with a little mayo or butter brushed on it and some seasoning salt or lemon pepper.
Any other ideas for a simple to prepare yet tasty/healthy main course of cod? Wrapping it in bacon sounds great but kind of defeats the purpose of eating fish in the first place......Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

as with anything on the grill you need to rub some kind of oil on it first

lightly bread it, sear it in your favorite oil along with some veggies to get crispy, viola, healthy fish and chips

This is an excellent fish tacos recipe. Fish and Chips is easy too, but most often in New England a nice piece of cod will be lightly breaded or just breadcrumbs and baked, but it's an adjustable fish, easy to work with. Don't read anything Tap writes about it because you'll throw it away and that's not right.

bake with one or more of the following (but not necessarily all of them at once):
salt/pepper (duh)
lemon juice
lime juice
tequilla
white wine
vinegars
capers
sliced onions
itailan breadcrumbs
curry powder
olive oil
butter
soy sauce or soy vay or other soy/teriaki/etc marinade
other than the above, the wife is hooked on a crumb topping for cod that is softened butter and graham crackers and honey. dont have an exact recipe. mix those three ingrediments until crumbly crust and then sprinkle on salted lemoned cod and bake it.
yum. . .

This is a good recipe:

I'd recommend cutting back on the amount of fish and adding some kale.

This is what my family from Calabria brought over... we make it for Christmas Eve and two or three other times during the winter.
Bacala
-Two or three pounds of salted Cod, let it sit in water for a day (change it three or four times)
Saute in olive oil:
- A head or two of chopped fennel
- Three onions and a bunch of garlic cloves chopped up
Add the sauteed fennel/onions/garlic to the bacala and water and let it simmer for 90 minutes.You can cut me off from the civilized world. You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates. You can torture me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness, and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer.

Blacken it in a cast iron skillet - you can pick up Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic at the grocery or google blackening spice and make your own.
Heat the cast iron to medium-high
Brush on just enough melted butter to get the spice to stick
Rub on spice liberally
Throw it in the hot skillet, turning once and eat
edit: cut the filets or pieces thin

pistachio/almond/panko and bacon crusted and pan roasted with some butter (might need to pop in oven to cook through if its a thick fillet so as to not burn the crust).
if you can get a small/medium whole fish, it would really be good baked in a salt crust. just get a bunch of salt, add some egg whites and water just until the salt is moist enough to pack around the fish and doesnt fall apart. clean the fish, rub some olive oil on the skin and cavity, put some fennel or dill sprigs, garlic cloves and lemon slices in the cavity, a drizzle of white wine or pernod, maybe some more lemon slices on top and some herb sprigs on the bottom (kind of like a bed). little base of salt, fish, pack salt around and pop into 350 oven. once the salt starts to get golden on the edges it usually means the fish is done. SOOOOOOO good.
fish and chips always a good way to go with cod. make a nice beer batter, oil to fry and you're good to go."If you are not nervous about your passion, you are not passionate enough about it."

ugh cant stand cod, atleast the pacific cod we catch up here.
every time we catch it I end up giving it away or (hopefully) trading for halibut/salmon...only way to get over that cod flavor is deep frying.
inferior fish imo
We've won it. It's going to get better now. You can sort of tell these things.

Krusteez pancake batter on the fish, with some saltine crumbs and black pepper. Fry in butter. Eat with lemon. Works great or even better with rock fish.

Cut into fingers, bread with panko, fry, make fish tacos.
Or, season with adobo, then bake for delicious baked fillets.
Cod is nice, it has firm, white meat, and the flavor is just strong enough to actually know you are eating fish, without being oily and overpowering like bluefish or some others.

Here's a real healthy recipe I use on striped bass and have used on cod.
Roll chunks in butter and then crushed patato chips. Bake. Ok, not healthy, but sooooo good.
