Yummy! I had ling cod bellies and didn't brine it. Was a little stingy on butter, but sauteed the salted fillets in butter in cast iron pan skin side last so the meat side was up on the flip, then added the toppings except additional butter and cooked in the oven, leaving it in the cast iron pan (saved on dishes). Would make again. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

This was an odd one, I had caught my own lingcod and wanted to try something different with it.. The frypan method with five minutes on each side cooked the cod through. When I tried to switch it to the baking pan for the oven portion the cod fell apart. Should have just done it in the oven by itself or even the pan on the stove. Didn't need both. It was bland as well, wouldn't make this recipe again. Read More

I skipped frying the cod. I just put it in hot 450F oven. After 10 min I added crumbs and lowered the temperature to 400F. It was done in next 20 min. Read More

It was pretty good for something super quick. Next time I'd take the time to batter the fist though. Read More

I just finished eating this. It was good but to be honest I found it to be a bit bland. I feel 4 stars is generous but oh well:) served with green beans and mini golden potatoes. For cod I prefer the torsk recipe on this website. Read More
