Can I use frozen cod fish in this recipe?

More often than not, frozen is the better option for quality wild-caught fish.

How to thaw frozen fish?

Frozen fish fillets thaw quickly in about 15 to 20 minutes. First, be sure to leave the fish in its vacuum-packaging. If it is not in some sort of packaging, place it in a zip-top bag (do not place it water "naked"). Arrange the vacuum-sealed fish in a bowl and cover it with cold tap water. Do NOT use warm or hot water. This creates more risk for bacterial growth and will also affect the texture of the fish. Check after 15 to 20 minutes to see if the fish feels tender and thawed through. If it is hard in some parts, leave it in for a little bit longer.

What temperature is best for baking fish?

For baked cod, I typically set my oven to 400 degrees F. How long? Depending on the thickness of your cod fillet, it could take about 8-10 minutes in the air fryer.

Can I refrigerate or freeze leftover cooked fish?

Depending on how fresh the fish was to begin with, you can store the leftovers either in the fridge or even in the freezer. First, cool the fish a little, but don't leave it in room temperature for more than 1 hour before refrigerating or freezing. Arrange the cod in a shallow glass container with a tight lid and refrigerate for up to 2 days. If you need to warm it up, simply use a medium-heated oven until just warmed through (there is always a chance the fish will be overcooked when you warm it up again). Generally, cooked fish can be frozen for up to 1 month. My personal preference is not to freeze it, because I feel the texture of the fish changes a little.
