Cod with Cream Sauce

Seafood does not have to be complicated. If you’re a beginner, this cod in cream sauce is the perfect recipe to start with.

It’s a recipe that I originally posted in 2015 and it’s been a readers favorite since. Here’s what people are saying:

“I have struggled with fish and how to cook until I stumbled upon this recipe and it was the best fish dish I ever cooked. Delicious thank you so much for sharing. I will be making it again.” – Shannon B.

“Excellent recipe! I’ve made this dish several times and it is delicious. Also substituted variety of fish with great results.” – Dana

It involves cod that is roasted on a bed of zucchini, yellow squash, and red onions with the most flavorful roasted pepper sauce. The sauce is definitely the star of this recipe.

Sauce for Cod

Creamy roasted pepper sauce is one of those things that is incredibly versatile and easy to make! You only need a handful of ingredients:

  • Roasted red peppers 
  • Garlic
  • Basil
  • Olive oil
  • Light cream 
  • Parmesan cheese

It quickly comes together on the stovetop then it gets transferred into a food processor and puréed until creamy rich. It pairs crazy good with mild cod and tender veggies.

You can make the roasted red pepper sauce ahead of time and may want to double up the recipe because you will want to smother it over everything and anything.

Not only is it delicious over cod but use it over pasta, veggies, chicken, or any other white mild fish. With just enough sweetness from the cream and bite from the peppers it’s the perfect combo of flavors.

For even more flavor, use heavy cream instead of light cream, and red pepper flakes for little heat.

How to Make Cod in Cream Sauce

So many of you made this cod with homemade roasted peppers and this how to from Ina Garten is simple and easy to follow. 

I love jarred roasted peppers from the store because of their convenience. They’re tasty and you can pick up a jar at just about any store. 

Step 1: Cook peppers, garlic, and basil in olive oil for about 5-8 minutes or until the flavors blend and fragrant. Large non-stick or stainless steel skillet is great for this step.

Step 2: Transfer the mixture into a bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides few times.

Step 3: Return the mixture to the same skillet, stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until lightly thickened.

Step 4: Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into matchsticks. Thinly slice the red onion. Layer the veggies on a bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Season the cod with salt and pepper and in a single layer, place the cod on top of the veggies. It’ll be snug and that’s okay. Sprinkle with parsley. Pour the pepper sauce over the cod and veggies.

step by step on how to make roasted cod with cream sauce

Step 6: Bake for 25-35 minutes, uncovered, in a 350 F oven. When done, the cod should flaky easily and the veggies should be fork tender. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.

How Long Do You Cook Fish for in the Oven?

For this cod recipe it’ll take anywhere from 25-35ish minutes to fully cook the cod in a 350F oven. Keep in mind that the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cod. For best results, use similar size cuts of cod.

Also if you cut the veggies into thicker pieces they’ll require more time to cook until fully tender. And don’t use more veggies than you have to, otherwise, they’ll release too much water and the sauce will thin out.

The size of the baking dish is another factor. I recommend a 9X13 baking dish. It should be large enough to fit all of the veggies without overcrowding too much and cod in a single layer.

Don’t use too small of a baking dish as you want enough room for steam to escape.

What Goes with Cod?

You can technically serve the cod as is and maybe some other side but if you’re like me and love all the pan juices then you’ll want something to soak it all up. 

  • Rice – Lemon risotto (omit the asparagus) or perfect brown rice. 
  • Some type of mash –  mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash, or these chipotle smashed sweet potatoes sound amazing!
  • Pasta – short shaped pasta, spaghetti, or egg noodles would all work.
  • Sides – Easy oven roasted broccoli, roasted garlic green beans, roasted asparagus with prosciutto. 

Of course, there’s also the very simple way to enjoy this cod meal. Simply pick up a crusty loaf of bread or baguette, tear it into chunks and dip into that delicious creamy goodness of sauce.

Description

Tender flaky cod roasted over a bed of zucchini, yellow squash, and onions in a creamy red roasted pepper sauce. 


Ingredients

Scale

Creamy Red Roasted Pepper Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 12 oz. jar whole roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. minced garlic, about 5–6 medium cloves
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
  • 1 1/4 cups light cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Cod + Veggies

  • 1 small (8 oz.) zucchini, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 small (8 oz.) yellow squash, cut into matchsticks
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 lbs. fresh cod fillets, about 6 oz. each
  • 1–2 Tbsp. fresh finely chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

Creamy Red Roasted Pepper Sauce

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook peppers, garlic, and basil in olive oil for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together.
  2. Transfer the pepper mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides.
  3. Return the mixture to the same skillet and stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste; simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until lightly thickened.

Cod + Veggies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Layer the zucchini, yellow squash, and onions on a bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Lightly season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, and layer in a single layer over the veggies. Sprinkle with parsley all over.
  4. Spoon the red pepper sauce over the cod, spreading out evenly so all of the cod is covered in sauce.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for 25-35 minutes until the fish is flaky and veggies are tender. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the cod.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and let rest for 5-10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.

Notes

  • Light Cream: heavy cream is a good substitute for light cream. Some of the readers had success with half and half, however, I find that the sauce thins out with half and half, especially after it’s been baked with the veggies. I would stick to either heavy or light cream.
  • Cod: use fresh cod if possible. But if using frozen, thaw out thoroughly and pat dry before baking.
  • Watered Down Sauce: to ensure the sauce does not water down during baking, do not cover the baking dish during or after baking. Make sure you’re using right size dish. I recommend 9X13. Layer the fish in a single layer in the baking dish and don’t use more veggies than you have to. Lastly, use light or heavy cream and nothing lighter. Veggies will release some water during baking but the liquid should easily blend into the sauce when rested.
  • Make Ahead / Reheating: to make ahead, prepare the roasted pepper sauce, cut up all the veggies, and refrigerate separately. Assemble with cod and bake on day of serving. Sauce will thicken when refrigerated so bring to room temperature before using. Cod does not reheat well. It tends to get rubbery. It’s best served immediately.
  • Variation: Like spicy? Add 1/4 tsp – 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes to the sauce. It’ll balance out the sweetness and give the dish a little kick.

    So I never comment on recipes, but this was so good that I had to. Because of what we had on hand, we used haddock and a combo of half & half and light sour cream for the sauce – FANTASTIC! This is going in the regular rotation.

    This knocked our socks off! I didn’t have a blender so I just mashed the peppers/garlic/basil with a masher after sautéing. Still MARVELOUS! It is zucchini season and I wanted to find better ways of enjoying it. “Best zucchini I’ve ever had”, said my fiancé! Not to mention the cod!!!! So tender, so, flavorful!!! I DID add some crushed red pepper….fantastic!

    Big hit with my family. Definitely a keeper. Used halibut instead of cod,as halibut was on sale,so who wouldn’t do that. Used heavy (35%) cream. Also used yellow onions instead of red because had in house and forgot to buy red (no problem – the red onion may have been more attractive in the dish). Also added about 3/4 tsp Aleppo pepper. Used two larger zucchini as only used the outer coloured part for the match sticks. turned out to be about 175 grams of each. Thanks for posting.

        I made this tonight and it was amazing. I’m such a picky eater and because of dietary issues, I need things that are tasting good and also low-carb. This was amazing. I didn’t have a lot of fish so I need to add more of that next time. The red pepper sauce was so good – I almost ate it while it was cooking in the pan. I loved that I could throw this in the oven and then have plenty of leftovers.

    This was so.damn.good!!! I made it with chicken breast instead since you mentioned it would go well with a variety of meats. I always dread cooking chicken breast because it either dry or bland…. but cooked in this sauce, so juicy and flavorful! I seared the chicken breast 2 min each side and then added it to the sauce. Simmered on the stove top for about 15 min. Such a hit! Had it with a side of buckwheat. I think this would be amazing on top of pasta too.

    This is truly amazing! Thank you!! My husband said it is restaurant quality. I roasted my own red bell peppers instead of using jar and wow, it was great. It made the house smell wonderful! The only issue I had was that the squash/zucchini released a lot of water as it baked, so my sauce did not stay thick. I noticed someone else commented on that also. Those veggies have a high water content so that is normal to happen. I may cook veggies separately next time. Have you made this with any other veggies? Was thinking of making it with asparagus instead.

      Hi Cheryl: I find that resting the cod for 5-10 minutes before serving helps with some of the liquid that is released during cooking. Also, I have not tried it with any other vegetables but I think that’s a great idea! Thank you for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed this recipe.

I had to make some substitutions based on what I had in the house; I used tilapia (and therefore had to bake for a shorter time) and red bell peppers and onions for the veggies. All three of my children absolutely love the sauce. It was perfect! This dinner is going into our regular rotation of meals. 🙂

      Yeah, the baking time seems far too long for the fish. I have a freezer full of fresh caught cod, admittedly thinner fillets than store bought, and it cooks in about 12 minutes. I will need to tweak this to get the veggies tender before the fish overcooks but will definitely try it as the sauce looks great.

          Hi Sandra: I think it will work but you will have to adjust the cooking time and slice the butternut squash into really thin strips since it’s way tougher than yellow squash. Hope you enjoy it and let me know how it turns out for you!

            I made this tonight, all the flavors are wonderful, but I would sauté the veggies separately. When you bake them all together it completely waters down the sauce. I had a beautiful thick sauce and when I baked it, it was all watery. Maybe bake the fish with a little bit of the sauce and then pour the remainder over the veggies.

          • Katya says

            May 18, 2017 at 8:35 AM

            Hi Rosemary: It shouldn’t be watered down. If you let the cod sit a little after baking with the sauce, some of that moisture should blend in with the sauce . But I’m glad you enjoyed the dish and thanks for your feedback!

    so, i was hunting on pinterest a few days ago looking at vegetarian meal ideas, came across this one and pinned it. decided this week was the week to make this recipe and went shopping for the ingredients. we didn’t have light cream at my store so i just used 3/4 cup light sour cream since i had it on hand. i’m a big fan of home made and healthy and even a bigger fan of simple. I’ve had a craving for the past few weeks for cod, so finding this on pinterest was a blessing. it looked unique and delicious. excuse me if this is out of order, i’m actually eating it right now lol. i am absolutely in LOVE with this recipe and seriously? the red pepper sauce? thanks for showing us how to make heaven in our kitchen! I put it on a bed of quinoa which is working out very well. this is certainly going into my recipe box and being made again and again and again and again…. ok well, i need to continue to shove this into my mouth, i just had to tell you thank you!

    I searched the web for “cod, red pepper, and cream,” and found your delicious recipe immediately. I served an adaptation to my husband, to rave reviews, and, with full credit to you and your blog, have just posted the adaptation to the microwave on my cooking blog, “The Mediterranean Microwave.”

    Thank you for the inspiration. This is not the first time I have found your recipes. You are doing a fine service.

    Sincerely, Celia

    This is the best cod recipe ever! My family were impressed! I would love to make this dish for an event. Do you think it would be ok to prepare everyhting the night before and refrigerate overnight just to bake the next day?

      So glad you enjoyed it! I would cut up the cod, veggies, and prepare the sauce, and refrigerate everything separate then when ready to bake, just put together and bake.

    Sounds like a similar seafood dish I make. However this sounds much simpler & flavorful. I like adding scallops, shrimp & maybe crab (imitation).

    This recipe doesn’t need anymore reviews, but I can cook almost anything but fish has always been a bit intimidating to me. I have made this recipe dozens of times with different fish mostly Tilapia, and it always gets rave reviews from our guests. (the first time I made it, I thought my husband was going to lick the pan clean. I made it 4 times that first week, and on the 3rd day, I had to go get me a hamburger, I love it, but I was ready for a change)And what I love you can make this dish go so far because I have added carrots,mushrooms,green diced chilis, bell peppers of all colors,eggplant etc. Always great. My husband loves everything spicy, and i have dipped the fish in a Blackening Spice:
    • 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon dried ground thyme
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    HE LOVES IT! Thanks for such a great recipe.

      Hi Christine: It would be hard for me to answer as I have not tried it in a crockpot. I would suggest you use your best judgement if you end up making it in a crockpot. Thanks!

    This is delicious!!!!!!

    I was searching the pantry this morning as I knew I had a new bottle of maple syrup in there. But it wasn’t in the basket with all the other sugary condiments (honey, golden syrup etc) I was certain I had bought a new bottle!!! And at $9 (here in AU) for a bottle I was pretty cross I had lost it!!!

    So there were a few cross words and me huffing about in the pantry…..which lead to knocking over a tin of pineapple, which I attempted to catch and in my haste I knocked a whole jar of roasted peppers off the shelf!!!

    After a bit of swearing and grabbing of tea towels from the drawer (as we have just put flooring in the pantry!!!!) I started to morn the loss of those peppers. Luckily the glass hadn’t actually broken. It was just the lid that had come off. Still the peppers were there, all there, on the floor, I couldn’t bring myself to bin them (scrounge? Me????? Nah!!!)

    Whist this was happening my sister tried to FaceTime me from the UK!!! I answered the call and showed her my sad pile of peppers…..she immediately sent me this link.

    She said it was an awesome recipe and even her boyfriend ate fish!!!

    Well that is something a mother doesn’t ignore. My kids eat fish but they are fickle….one day they love it, the next they hate it. So I figure worth a shot.

    MAN!!!! Demolished, asked for again and called best fish outside of Sharky’s (which is the best fish and chip shop in our city)

    I am going to share this with everyone!!! YUM!!! With a capital Y.

    Thank you x

    I made this ten days ago and I am making it again tonight. We loved it, especially the sauce. I made rice to go with this to absorb some of the liquid. I substituted milk and a little bit of butter for the cream and added a few dollops of cream cheese to the sauce.

    I stumbled across this when trying to figure out what the heck I should do with cod, this recipe turned out amazingly! So easy follow, I couldn’t find yellow squash and but my zucchinis in chunks instead but it was all perfect!
    I am going to make the sauce again and experiment with different proteins! Thanks.

    I tried this yesterday with trout, and using fresh roasted peppers. It was so sweet and creamy- and so easy. I’ll definitely try it again. We had it with couscous as we were in a hurry.

    This looks AMAZING! What kind of “cream” do you use? Coffee creamer? Do they make “light” half and half? Do you think you could substitute greek yogurt? Don’t know if it’d be the same consistency…

    Thanks!

      Hi Nikki, recipe uses light cream (not coffee creamer). You can find it next to heavy cream, half and half, heavy whipping cream. I think greek yogurt would not work here. I would think it would curdle and be too thick of a consistency. Hope that helps. Thanks!

      Hi Sharon! Thank you! Some of my favorites are brown rice pilaf, quinoa with vegetables, or even mashed potatoes. You can reheat the leftovers but the fish might get a little tough. It’s best when eaten same day. Thanks for your comment. Have a great day!
