By AzWench

Ingredients

• 1 cod fillet (8-12 oz, about 1/2-inch thick, cut in half) or 2 cod tenderloins (6 oz each, about 1-inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 Tablespoons melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. In small bowl combine the olive oil, garlic powder and seasoned salt to prepare rub.

2. Using 1 cod fillet (8-12 oz, about 1/2-inch thick, cut in half) or 2 cod tenderloins (6 oz each, about 1-inch thick), spoon rub on top of cod, spreading evenly. If needed, tuck any thin parts of fillet underneath for even cooking.

3. Put prepared cod in Medium Ziploc® Brand Zip 'n Steam® bag, placing thicker portions toward outer edge of bag. Seal bag and place in microwave.

4. Cook on full power for 3 1/2 4 minutes or until cod is cooked through and flakes easily. Use 3 1/2 minutes for 1/2-inch thick pieces and 4 minutes for 1-inch thick pieces. If needed, continue microwaving at 30-second intervals until cod is done.

5. Allow bag to stand 1 minute before handling. Carefully open bag. Use spatula to remove cod from bag.

6. Spoon 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice over cod. Garnish with 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and serve with 2 Tablespoons melted butter, if desired.
