Cod fillet - baked in the oven fish

In our shops cod is found in two types: whole carcasses or already peeled fillets. The second is slightly more expensive, but in principle the cod is sold at a fairly democratic price. Fish experts prefer whole carcasses, when cutting them they will be able to determine the quality of the fish: if the cod does not pass the process of re-freezing, its flesh will be elastic, but if the fish cracks in the hands, it is not recommended to cook it.

To cook the cod fillets (baked in the oven fish), you will have to unfreeze the carcass. When cutting a thawed chicken with a sharp knife, separate the ridge and side bones, and then remove the skin. Clean the fillet well under running water and dip it for half an hour into milk. Cut with a paper towel, salt and make shallow transverse incisions at an angle of 45 degrees. Peel one apple (better than sour varieties) and cut it into thin slices. Insert the slice into each incision and drizzle the fillet with olive oil. The resulting semi-finished product is carefully wrapped in foil and sent to a preheated oven for 20 minutes. That's the time it takes to bake the cod fillets. The oven-baked fish is laid out from the foil in a plate, sprinkled with fresh herbs, and as a side dish, a bright vegetable salad is served. You'll like it!
