Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. cod fillets
5 ears fresh corn, shucked and corn kernels sliced off the cob (or canned no sodium added corn)
1 pint grape tomatoes

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper.
2.Place cod fillets in the center of the baking sheet. Scatter corn kernels and tomatoes around cod. Drizzle cod and veggies with extra virgin olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. Sprinkle fish with panko crumbs.
3.Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cod is cooked through, stirring the veggies halfway through cooking time. The fish will flake easily when it’s done and will lose its translucent or raw appearance. A good rule of thumb for cooking fish is to use the 10-minute rule: measure fish at its thickest point and cook it for 10 minutes per inch.
4.Remove baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle fish and veggies with basil. Serve with lemon wedges and toasted rolls.

Recipe note: If concerned about pin bones, especially in salmon (pin bones run crosswise to the backbone), check for the pin bones before cooking the fish and remove any with tweezers. And whenever serving fish to kids, check for any bones before serving by pressing the fish with two fingers.
