Preparation

Allow the cod fillets to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Before preparing, take the fillets out of the refrigerator in good time so that they come to room temperature and the cooking process is not prolonged.
Cut one lemon into slices, squeeze the other lemon.
Brush a medium-sized baking dish with a little butter. Add the cod fillets and top with the lemon slices. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Season the fish with salt and pepper and add the rosemary sprigs. Mix the lemon juice with the olive oil and the finely chopped garlic cloves and pour over the loins. Cook in the oven for approx. 15 - 20 minutes.
In the meantime, bring water to the boil in a small pot and cook the frozen peas for about seven minutes. Drain the water and then sauté the chopped shallots in a little olive oil and add the peas and season with a little salt and lemon pepper.
It goes well with crispy baguette browned in olive oil in a pan. Tip: You can also use baguette from the day before.

Are you not a pea fan like our colleague Hannah? No problem, you are free to choose the vegetable side dish. See what your vegetable compartment or the frozen food compartment has. Hannah, for example, likes broccoli vegetables.
