Broiled Cod

This is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat fish. It comes together really quickly and you'll barely even know you're eating fish! We like it with tilapia, but you can also use cod or other mild fish.

Broiled Cod
Serves 2

1/4 C. fat-free Italian salad dressing
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. each: salt, garlic powder, curry powder, paprika, and pepper
2 cod or tilapia filets (4-6 oz. each)--frozen? See my tip.
2 tsp. butter, optional

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the dressing, sugar, and seasonings. Add the fish; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 10-30 minutes. (If you're in a super hurry you can even skip this step).
  • Drain and discard marinade; place fillets on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Place 1 tsp. butter on each fillet; let stand until melted. -OR-
  • Spray a non-stick skillet and cook the fish over medium heat, covered, for about 7-10 minutes (or less if the fillets are really thin) turning once. Cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with leftover sauce if it starts to get dry.
