Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Baked Cod with Salsa and Cheese.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) and lightly greasing an 8x12-inch baking dish to ensure your cod doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Place the fillets side by side in the prepared baking dish, creating a cozy arrangement.
Step 4
Generously pour salsa over the cod, allowing the vibrant flavors to seep in, then sprinkle a layer of shredded Cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible melty goodness.
Step 5
For a delightful crunch, finish with a scattering of crushed corn chips, adding texture to each bite.
Step 6
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and flakes effortlessly with a fork, signaling that it’s perfectly cooked.
Step 7
Once out of the oven, serve your baked cod adorned with slices of creamy avocado and a dollop of sour cream, transforming a simple meal into a culinary delight that’s sure to impress.
Step 8
Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures in every mouthful!.
