For the longest time, I liked the idea of cod, but never really knew how to bring it to life. In fact, I’ll take the confession further; a pack of cod fillets often made my shopping basket, only to be placed in the freezer until I was ready to admit defeat and bake them with some butter.

Thankfully, since starting the blog (many moons ago), I’ve come to realise cod truly does make the perfect dinner. Not only does it take on an array of different flavours, but it cooks quickly and in a variety of different ways. It also makes a nice change if you struggle to introduce fish into your rotation.

So, if you are like I was and find yourself wondering ‘how can I turn cod fillets into dinner’? I’ve got you covered. Here you’ll find a selection of my very best cod recipes for all the inspiration you’ll ever need. These recipes are easy to prepare, they only require simple, store-bought ingredients, and most of them come together in under 30 minutes.
