Try wrapping in bacon and putting in some foil in the oven for 10 mins. You can then put them on a baking tray to crisp up. Serve with a salad and roast or new potatoes, yummy!

I made cod with spring onion mash and soy butter sauce on Saturday night - very yummy and easy. Got this from Rick Stein book but didn't have any coriander or tomato in for the sauce so made it like this:

Cook potato & mash with milk & butter - fry a couple of spring onions until soft then mix into mash - you can do this early & reheat if you want.

Put 1 pint fish or veg stock in pan with 2 tablespoons soy sauce & boil rapidly until reduced by 1/2. Meanwhile brush cod with melted butter and grill for 8-10 mins - when all ready whisk 3 oz butter into sauce a bit at a time.

Serve mash in middle of plate - cod fillet on top - sauce around the mash (you probably won't need all the sauce for two people). Eat with fresh veg.

Or even easier - wrap in foil parcels with cherry tomatoes, herbs, salt, pepper and a splash of white wine - think it takes about 20 mins in oven - always estimate it myself - serve with potatoes & veg.
Good Luck
