Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.
Add the frozen cod fillets to an ovenproof dish and cover with aluminium foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
If using almond slivers, add to a blender and blend into a ground almond meal.
While the cod is baking, combine the ingredients for the almond crust and stir well.
Remove the cod from the oven and pat on the almond crust. Return to the oven (not covered with foil) and bake for a further 15 minutes or until the cod is cooked through. It should be white and flake easily with a fork.
Serve with sides of your choice and enjoy!
- Adjust the amount of olive oil if required. You want the crust to be a thick, slightly sticky texture so it will stay on the fish and hold together. Add a touch more if it seems too dry.
- Check the fish is white throughout and can be easily flaked with a fork. Adjust cook time accordingly, depending upon the size of the cod fillets.
