Gorton's Simply Bake Garlic Butter Cod Fillets
What it is
These are pre-portioned cod fillets coated in a savory garlic butter sauce. They come frozen in a convenient oven-ready pouch. The fish is already seasoned, making meal preparation straightforward. The sauce is designed to cook along with the cod, infusing it with flavor as it bakes. This product offers a simple way to enjoy a seafood dinner without extensive prep work.
How people cook with it
This cod is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or when you want a flavorful seafood dish with minimal effort.

- Quick lunch option
- Served with rice
- Paired with steamed vegetables
To prepare, simply place the unopened pouch directly onto a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically around 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes. The pouch will puff up as it heats, indicating it is cooking. Once done, carefully remove the pouch from the oven. Allow it to rest for a minute before opening, as steam will escape. The cod should be flaky and cooked through, ready to serve.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh cod, these fillets are individually portioned and pre-sauced, eliminating the need for separate seasoning or marinating. The oven-ready pouch ensures even cooking and contains the sauce, preventing mess and simplifying cleanup compared to baking uncovered on a sheet pan.
Who it is for
Busy home cooks looking for an easy and flavorful seafood meal.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, unopened pouches frozen until ready to cook. Once cooked, leftovers should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within a few days. Do not refreeze cooked fish.
