The lemon gratin cod fillets are a great alternative to the classic pan-fried cod fillet that the whole family, including the little ones, will love. They are quick to prepare and can be flavored in many ways, such as with orange, lime, rosemary, even mixed herbs, and why not, with paprika too. You can use both fresh and frozen fillets. This recipe can also be made gluten-free by using the appropriate ingredients. Furthermore, they can also be cooked in the air fryer.
