Gulf Island Lemon Pepper Cod with Mango Salsa

  • 40 Minutes
  • 4 Servings

This bright, fresh cod recipe pairs our Gulf Island Lemon Pepper Spice with a colourful mango salsa. The seasoning adds lively citrus flavour and peppery warmth to the mild white fish, while the mango, lime and fresh herbs bring sweetness and freshness to every bite.

The Recipe

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the cod fillets dry and place them on the prepared tray.
  3. Drizzle the fish with olive oil, then season generously with Gulf Island Lemon Pepper Spice, pressing the seasoning gently onto the surface.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the fish cooks, combine the mango, tomato, red onion and fresh herbs in a bowl.
  6. Add the lime juice and a small pinch of salt, then toss gently.
  7. Spoon the mango salsa over the cooked cod and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
  8. It would be lovely served with roasted baby potatoes, rice or grilled seasonal vegetables..
