Cod with Lemon, Garlic, and Chives

  4.2 – 35 reviews  

By no means is this true sushi, but it closely resembles the flavor of the popular sushi rolls served at less upscale sushi restaurants. It’s also a great option for home cooks and families. Excellent for cutting into sushi-sized appetizers and serving with the standard pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.

Ingredients

  1. 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
  2. 4 teaspoons olive oil
  3. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  4. 1 bunch fresh chives, coarsely chopped
  5. 2 lemons, sliced
  6. 2 cloves garlic, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Cut 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Brush each fillet with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place each fillet in the center of an aluminum foil square. Lay lemon slices down the length of each fillet and sprinkle garlic slices and chives over the top. Fold foil over the fish and turn the edges over 2 or 3 times; flatten to seal the packets.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

This recipe adds nice flavor but cod just isn’t my fish—too tough. I think I’d rather try this with tilapia.
Taylor Young
Quick and easy. The fish was flaky and full of yummy juices thanks to the lemon and chives. I only had dried chives, which worked out just fine.
Paul Pearson
We adjusted to what we had in the pantry. Used a little olive oil, salt/pepper, some crushed garlic in the jar and some lemon juice. Sealed the pack and baked it. Easy and delicious.
Taylor Wells
Amazingly delish!
Robert Murphy
I just love the combination of flavours.
Rachel Walters
Simple recipe with great satisfaction. Will try again !!!
Scott George
Very easy to prep and cook, the fish was moist and delicious!
Angela Moore
This was a great and simple dish to whip up together. I’ve used Aldi’s frozen Wild Caught Alaskan cod. I’ve made one tweak to it–instead of lemon and garlic slices, I’ve used lemon juice and minced garlic to top my cod. Delish! I’ll make it again someday.
Jamie Garcia
It was very simple to make, but I wasn’t impressed with it.
Kimberly Collins
Solid flavors , I think a leaner fish would be better but the cod was yummy too
Sarah Cain
I didn’t want to make packets so I made it in a 9×13 pan. I covered it in foil and cooked it for 15-20 minutes. Then I took the foil off and browned it a few minutes, until done. It tasted great! I’ll make it again and continue to experiment.
Lynn Diaz
It is delicious, easy and light! I always have everything I need for this recipe and don’t have to make a special trip to the store!
Rebecca Newton
I don’t know why more people aren’t making this. Best..white fish…ever
Sherry Kim
It was delicious.
Tara Clark
Good “clean” GF, Egg free dish that was easy and good for weeknight cooking with quick clean up! Not amazing, but pretty good. I made with fresh lemon and freeze-dried chives and garlic.
Rachel Cox
Made it without the chives, but added more garlic. Turned out great! Even my wife loved it, and she normally doesn’t eat fish. This is a keeper.
Valerie Horn
Very quick and easy to make, but lacked flavor. I didn’t use the olive oil. I just lightly sprayed the foil with butter spray. I loved how quick it was to make, but would add stronger flavors next time.
Charles Pennington
This was surprisingly good to me – sans the garlic. I was on a low-calorie diet with limited food options. This was perfect, easy and tasty.
Deborah Pace
excellent dish I put sliced onion down on the tin foil first and the put the fish on top of that. This works great for almost any fish
Kiara Dawson
It had a horrible bitter taste.
Evan Moore
I WILL make it again. I used frozen (thawed) cod fillets that were not very big so used two to a piece of foil. I think next time I will squeeze a little of the lemon juice on the fish before cooking. But really very good!
