Cod is popular with chefs. This is perhaps one of the most delicious dietary products, from which you can prepare a lot of interesting dishes.
Cod steak in the oven - the basic principles of cooking
Cod meat is highly nutritious. It contains a minimum of fat. Cod goes well with almost any ingredient.
Steaks are sold mostly frozen, but you can buy fresh fish, cut it up and cut it into chunks. Frozen food is thawed only at room temperature. Do not use hot water or a microwave for this.
Before baking, the steaks are marinated in different sauces so that the taste of the fish is saturated.
Cod in the oven can be cooked separately, or with vegetables, mushrooms or cheese.
To prevent the fish from getting dry, you can pre-fry it until golden brown, and then bake it in the oven. Especially juicy cod is obtained under a sauce based on fish broth, cream, tomato juice or sour cream. Sauce pour fish before baking, or pour it before serving.
