How To Make Broiled Cod
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and preheat your oven to broil.
Lay out your cod to prep. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle on salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub to coat fish evenly in oil and herbs.
Flip cod fillets over. Again top with oil and seasonings. Rub toppings all over the fish.
Lay seasoned cod on aluminum-lined baking sheet. Broil on the top shelf of the oven for 10 minutes.
At this point, use a meat thermometer to check that the fish is done. If it isn’t, broil the fish for another few minutes.
If the meat thermometer reads at least 145 degrees, then the fish is done. Remove the baking pan from the oven.
Use a spatula to move the fish from the pan to a serving dish.
