Tips for cooking cod from frozen
- Thaw in the fridge overnight, or sealed in a bag in cold water if you are short on time. Our thawing guide covers both methods for Malaysian kitchens.
- Pat the fillets dry before cooking so they sear or roast instead of steaming in their own moisture.
- Do not overcook. Cod is done at about 63°C, or when it flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part.
- Season simply first — salt, pepper, a little fat — then add garlic, soy, lemon or herbs. Lean fish takes flavour well, so a light hand is enough.
