How long will One Pan Baked Cod and Veggies last for?
We recommend eating this meal in three days or less. Although it can still be good on day four, we don’t recommend more than three days because of the variation in storage temperature. You can eat for dinner and have leftovers for lunch. Reheat in the oven, and boom boom, bang, you’re good to go!
For optimum results, store appropriately in an airtight container (our Good Cook® meal prep containers are perfect for refrigerator or freezer storage). For easy reheating, store the potatoes and cod separately.
Can One Pan Baked Cod and Veggies be frozen?
This cod meal prep recipe doesn’t freeze well, and it’s best when eaten within three days. Potatoes don’t freeze well either, as they could turn mushy when reheating. If you do freeze the potatoes, don’t cook them thoroughly so they’re not mushy when reheated. Cod becomes bland when frozen and then reheated. So, sorry meal preppers, we don’t recommend freezing one pan baked cod. If you’re looking for freezer-friendly cod meal prep recipes, try our Crispy Fish Sticks and Baked Fish and Chips. Notice that the cod in these recipes have a batter, so that may be the secret to freezing-friendly cod!

How do you make One Pan Baked Cod and Veggies?
One pan baked cod is really easy to make! The flavor profile and presentation say otherwise. Doesn’t a meal taste better when it is simple to cook?
To complement this fresh cod meal prep, we bake the fish using cherry tomatoes and seasoning. (Also, know that cherry tomatoes provide a decent taste all year long, making it possible to make baked cod with tomatoes whenever you prefer.)
To get started on cooking one pan baked cod, you need the right tools. The right cooking tools lead to the best possible execution of the meal prep recipe! If you don’t always have the right tools, you can always Google alternatives, and sometimes we’ll recommend products.
When making one pan baked cod, you need a good-sized baking sheet so the fish and vegetables cook thoroughly and evenly at the same time. The best size sheet pan for our one pan baked cod and veggies meal prep recipe is a standard 9×13-inch baking (or sheet) pan that holds up to 3 quarts of food. That’s plenty of room for the amount of vegetables and cod you’re cooking. Use our Good Cook® Essential Non-Stick Cookie Sheet. Also, an instant-read thermometer will ensure your fish is fully cooked. Now that we’ve got our cooking tools, let’s meal prep!
First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, toss diced potatoes into half of your oil and place them on the baking sheet. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes. Feel free to enjoy the aroma coming from the roasted veggies. That’s one of our favorite smells! Next, remove the pan from the oven and add in the tomatoes and cod. Drizzle your tasty veggies with the remaining oil and seasoning. Bake everything in the oven together for an additional 10-12 minutes.
That’s it! You’ve got four perfectly crafted, healthy, delicious cod meal prep recipes!

Great recipe!!! I will try it
We’re having this for dinner on Thursday night. What seasonings did you add to this dish?
We hope you enjoy it! You can use any seasoning you’d like! We used the Primal Palate Seafood Seasoning on ours.
What’s a good replacement for the tomatos?
Hi Amber – you can replace the tomatoes with any of your favorite vegetables. Asparagus would be great!
How long is this good in the fridge for? Is this something you can make and have all week?
You should eat this meal in three days or less. It should still be good on day four, but because of variations in storage temps, we don’t recommend more than three days.
Does the Cod need to be defrosted if frozen or can I bake it from a frozen state?
This looks delicious and I would like to try it. How do you recommend reheating the dish? Can I freeze it?
Thank you Kelly! We just reheat it in the microwave. This is not a dish that we would recommend freezing… this recipe would be best within three days of making it.
I use wild caught cod and it requires 20-25 minutes to bake. I made this lunch prep today and baked potatoes and tomatoes per recipe and then placed it back in the oven with the cod. After 12 minutes I pulled the pan from the oven and the cod was only 92 degrees. I put it on a separate pan and then put it back in the oven until inner temp reached 145 degree. I look forward to eating lunch tomorrow. This recipe looks great and healthy.
Thank you so much for the note George! Glad you enjoyed the meal. =)
What a fantastic recipe for FRESH Lingcod! My family absolutely loved it!:) Thank you for posting it!
Hi Tanya! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for stopping by and sharing that with us!
Great recipe. I use a scant amount of pesto on fish for seasoning. Works perfectly. Fast prep for dinner and leftovers for lunch.
In the photos, it looks like there are other some non-purple potatoes in there. Am I imagining things?
You are correct. You can use any color or combination of colored potatoes that you’d like!
