I absolutely adore cod. This recipe for Italian baked cod is a fab way to cook cod if you can get your hands on good-quality fish from your fishmonger. Also, this is a great way to use my basic marinara sauce if you don’t eat or like pasta.
I know, I know – who doesn’t like pasta right? But a lot of people nowadays are gluten sensitive or follow a restricted diet that pasta just doesn’t fit into. Serve this dish with rice, quiona, potatoes or even a simple side salad.

Thank you for the recipe. We prepared the dish with a side salad and Chardonnay, and very impressed on how it was so light and tasty. This dish has so many options available to add your own personal touch. Next time we’ll add sliced portobello mushrooms sauteed in garlic and olive oil to the marinara sauce.
Made this today. It was excellent! Served it over thin spaghetti with a cesar salad and red wine.
