Recipe Tips

•

Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform cubes to promote even cooking. If they are cut too large, they may not cook through by the time the cod is done, resulting in a mismatch of textures.

•

Avoid overcrowding the baking dish. If the cod and potatoes are too close together, they will steam instead of bake, leading to a less crispy texture. Make sure there is enough space between the ingredients for proper air circulation.

•

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the cod slices in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and a splash of lemon juice for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will enhance the taste and moisture of the fish.
