Besides my batch cooking antics, another one of my specialties is 15 minute meals and this dijon baked cod recipe fits the bill perfectly. Though cooking is one of my greatest passions, sometimes, I just don’t have the time or energy it takes to prepare an elaborate meal. And nothing comes to the rescue quite like a simply prepared fish can.
A few simple ingredients and a hot oven is all you need to whip this up in a flash. Serve it with a simple salad or my sweet and spicy green beans and you have dinner in less than 15 minutes.
Dijon Baked Cod
(2) 6 oz cod fillets
2 tbsp dijon mustard (use less if you don’t like it spicy)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 425* or get the broiler hot. Lay the fish in a baking dish and coat well with the olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and then brush the Dijon mustard onto the top side. Bake or broil the fish for about 10 minutes until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Squeeze with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley. Serve the fish piping hot.
I love making quick, healthy dinners. Sometimes it’s all you have time for, but it doesn’t have to have the taste sacrificed!

Woman, you are brilliant. I actually have some frozen cod in my freezer and wasn’t sure what to do with it! You rock!

I love dijon…it’s honeslty such an amazing condiment that can be used in marvelous ways! This is a great recipe!
Also, I saw your choco-coconut ice cream recipe on EBF right before I read this! It looks so good! James is a big fan of ice cream so I think I might have to buy him a maker this summer so that he can run “tests” on a few recipes…such as yours… ;)
mmmmmm…this sounds really good! i bet you could use it for a lot of other fish as well :) heading over to check out the guest post :)

I just love cod. It is so light, flaky, and has the most pleasant of mild flavors! Fifteen minute meals sound like a dream come true- this is nothing short of delicious! THanks for a great recipe, Christie. I can’t wait to hear more of your ideas!!

Fast, healthy and tasty… my favorite kind of meal! I bought salmon at the store for the first time in a long time, so I’ll have to try this method of making it!

My hubby and I have some cod in the fridge. May just have to try this!! Looks delicious!
I love fish and certainly don’t cook it often enough! I have never cooked fish with mustard before- looks wonderful.

I made both of these tonight and loved them! Thanks for the idea about how to cook cod simply, but flavorfully, and how to change up the ways I usually cook green beans.
Hey Lady! Thanks for stopping by! I am so glad that you enjoyed my recipes, please do let me know if you try more. If you enjoy salmon, I have a few recipes for it as well. I am all about the simple yet flavorful!
