Welcome to StartCooking.com.

Hi, I'm Kathy Maister.

I'm going to show you how to prepare two types of fish.

Baked cod cooked in the oven and salmon cooked in the microwave.

Let's start with the cod.

It takes five minutes to repair and about 25 minutes to bake in the oven.

Step one in baking anything is to preheat the effin.

For the cod, set the oven to 375 degrees.

You'll need a baking dish and a small bowl.

The ingredients we need are 2 pounds of cod,

which will make enough for 4 to 6 servings,

1 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs, three tablespoons of soft butter, three

tablespoons of lemon juice, and some salt and pepper. If you're preparing a full meal,

mashed potatoes go well with cod. You might want to start making the mashed potatoes first,

then everything will be ready at the same time.

Use about one teaspoon of butter to grease the baking dish. Lay the cod in the pan. These really thick pieces are called captains cut. Pour

lemon juice over the cod. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper and then spread about a

teaspoon of butter on the fish. Now in a small bowl mix the remaining two tablespoons of butter with breadcrumbs.

You could use olive oil instead of butter if you wish.

Cover the cod with the breadcrumbs.

It's now time to pop it in the oven.

This captain's cut of cod is so thick it will take about 25 minutes to cook.
