Baked Cod in Mustard and Lemon Marinade

Cod fish may taste a bit plain and somewhat boring, but not if prepared with mustard and lemon marinade like in this recipe.

Onions cooked along with fish in the same marinate taste just great (I think I might like onions the same as fish if not more). So don’t be shy on amount of onions to use.

Marinating requires at least an hour, but can be extended to few, as long as you keep the fish is in the fridge. And will allow to do all preparations in advance in needed and then cook fish right before the serving.

  9. Warm up oven to 355F. Smear baking pan with oil. Peel onions and slice them in circles. Arrange onions at the bottom of the baking pan in an even layer (onions cooked in mustard and lemon marinate will taste great and are good addition to fish itself, so I suggest to go with 2 onions at least):
