This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm assuming the cod was thawed first if started from frozen? I'm excited to make this since I have to feed 12 hungry Norwegians soon!

What a wonderfully easy recipe to make! I really wondered, reading the ingredients, if this would work. But it was super good! That being said, I don't care for frozen fish, so I used freshly caught amberjack fillets, about an inch and a quarter thick. Amberjack is a great-tasting dense white fish, similar to cod in color but a little tighter in texture. The taste was wonderful in this recipe...the only thing I didn't care for was that the flour coating turned a bit "slimey". Maybe turning the broiler on at the end would help with that. But I loved the wonderful lemon/butter juice that I could scoop out of the baking dish over the fish, and the broiler might dry that juice up. Regardless, I absolutely loved the flavor and my fish was just wonderful. Thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR tag game. -
For such a simple recipe, this has great flavor! I really like the preparation method, though I did have to finish the fish in the broiler to get the top to brown. In spite of being yummy, my fish didn?t turn out so pretty, but no fault of the recipe. Like other imported items, sometimes we don?t get the best quality, and so it was with this package of frozen cod, purchased in a rural area of Costa Rica, which was super thin and had suffered some freezer burn. I will definitely make this recipe again, but perhaps with some fresh local fish like Corvina. Thanks for posting, Pam! Gourmet Goddesses ZWT9. -
Wow!! This was the best fish recipe I've had. My favorite restaurant cod wasn't this good. I think using any other kind of fish would be great, also -

Simply delicious! I omitted the flour and broiled a bit. Reminds me of poorman's lobster. Made in memory of Pammyowl.
