Cod is a mild-flavored fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of our favorite ways to cook cod is to bake it with a Parmesan crust. The Parmesan crust gives the cod a crispy exterior, while keeping the inside moist and flaky. We also like to serve the cod with broccoli, which is a good source of vitamins and minerals.
