Best Baked Fish Recipe -- Cod with Creamy Tartar Sauce

Cod fillets make a perfect baked fish recipe. This recipe is great for all types of fish, especially cod or tilapia fish fillets, which are generally good buys at the supermarket. Cod and tilapia are both low key fish with a mild flavor, so baking them in the oven with a homemade tartar sauce and crunchy panko breadcrumb topping adds a nice twist. This baked fish recipe cooks up quick even in larger quantities, so it's perfect for family meals.
