  • Cod Fish Fillets
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Swiss Cheese

How to Make Baked Cod With Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse and pat 1 pound of cod fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. Season both sides of the fish generously with 1 teaspoon of dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Place the cod fillets in the prepared dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) evenly over the fish.
  6. Dollop 1/2 cup of sour cream over the cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning (sage, salt, pepper) as needed. Add more sour cream or cheese if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
