Hi
I am having some digestive problems so I am trying to eat better, more pure less additive foods and my body craves protein a fair amount of the time. I just got some frozen cod filets, nothing but the cod and I am seeking ways to cook them that will still be tasty.

You can broil them on a low shelf in the oven. Depending on the thickness it may take 15-25 minutes or so, no need to turn it over. It's ready when the fish is opaque, not translucent or see through, you can check the thickest part.

You can spray Pam or olive oil on the pan/foil and on top of the fish if you want. Season before cooking with spices of your choice, like salt, pepper, dill or parsley.

Do you mean bake? Wouldn't broiling burn the fish? These are about 2" thick and would cooking them on foil be un-healthy or is that just bs?

I mean broil, with the upper broil element on in the oven. I have an electric stove, and keep the door open either half or all the way when I'm broiling fish, so the element stays on longer.

I use the lowest shelf, so it doesn't burn the fish. I mostly make salmon, but sometimes cod, halibut, etc.

I use foil for convenient clean-up, and have never been concerned...but it may not be healthy, I don't know.

2 inches is pretty thick, they will likely take a half hour or more, always pre-heat the oven.

My parents own a fish and chips shop. Bad news, Cod contains cod worms. Tonnes of them. Google it up. Don't know about you but I'd rather not eat parasitic worms.

They use Haddock, its left to thaw on a stainless steel drip tray slowly till it comes to ambient room temperature. The slower this process the more firm the fish is after thaw.

If you are having digestive problems have you considered a green juice? Dunk in some green veg into a masticating juicer, lots easily digestible protein in spinach and spirulina for example. I'm about to blitz some hemp seed in about 20 mins actually. Lots of protein in there that the body can actually use.

Isn't all fish susceptible to worms? Can they harm you at all? Remember the McDonalds worm burgers?

Anyone else care to comment? Isn't there worms in most protein products like beef, pork...fish...and I wonder about chicken and turkey as well? I wonder if the range feed, no antiboitic used buffalo they sell at my local health food store is safe? Right now with what I have going on I would prefer not to be eating worms.
