recipe tips


For extra flavor, season the fish fillets with salt and pepper before adding the cornbread topping.

To add a kick of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne into the cornbread mixture.

Choose fish fillets that are similar in size and thickness so they cook evenly.

Try different herbs and seasonings.

Serve the cornbread crusted cod with a side of tartar sauce or aioli for extra flavor.

common recipe questions


What type of fish can I use for this recipe?

Cod is the recommended fish for this recipe, but other firm white fish like haddock or halibut can also be used.

How can I make the cornbread crumbs?

You can make cornbread crumbs by crumbling store-bought or homemade cornbread into small pieces.

Why use cold butter in this recipe?

Using cold butter helps create a crumbly topping as the butter melts during baking.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Fresh herbs will provide a more vibrant flavor, but you can substitute with dried herbs if that's what you have on hand. Use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs instead of fresh.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat the cod in the oven. After 1 day the cornbread topping will become soggy and won't reheat well.
