Our Best Ideas for Cod

Whether you’re trying to get a healthy weeknight dinner on the table or simply need a meal that’s ready fast, fish is always a great choice. Cod is one of our favorites; its mild flavor makes it incredibly versatile (try it in everything from fish tacos to skewers) and it can be a sustainable option. You’ll find that there are a number of easy ways to cook cod but we can’t get enough of crunchy, homemade fish sticks. Our secret? The air fryer. We season the breadcrumb coating with Pecorino Romano and seafood seasoning, adding just a spritz of oil to help the fish sticks crisp up nicely. Dip in tartar sauce or your favorite condiment and you’ve got a simple and satisfying fried fish dish in minutes.
