FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

What vegetable go well with cod fish?

Cod pairs well with sweet and earthy vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or parsnips. Roasted maple-glazed carrots are a perfect match—they add a touch of sweetness that balances the mild flavour of the fish.

What is the best cooking technique for cod?

Baking or pan-searing cod are great techniques to preserve moisture and bring out its delicate flavour. Cod cooks quickly, so it’s best to use medium heat and avoid overcooking. A light spice crust or glaze adds extra taste.

Do carrots go well with fish?

Yes! Carrots add natural sweetness and colour that pair beautifully with fish. Roasted, glazed, or pureed, they bring contrast in flavour and texture—especially with white fish like cod or haddock.

Should I bake cod covered or uncovered?

Bake cod uncovered for a lightly crisp top and tender centre. If your recipe includes a glaze or vegetables, covering it for the first half can help lock in moisture, then uncover to finish.

What herbs go well with cod?

Cod works well with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, thyme, and chives. You can also use spice blends with paprika, cumin, or coriander for a bolder profile, especially in recipes with a sweet or glazed element.
