Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 F.
-
Prepare cod or haddock by scaling, washing, and snipping fins; pat dry, lightly salt, and set on a greased baking sheet.
-
Fill the fish cavity with stuffing; put excess stuffing in a separate casserole dish. Close the cavity with skewers.
-
Place bacon strips diagonally over the fish, ensuring cut ends are covered if the head was removed.
-
Bake for 10 minutes per inch of fish thickness, usually 40-50 minutes.
-
Remove bacon 10 minutes before cooking concludes to crisp the fish skin.
-
Carefully move the baked fish to a serving platter. Remove skewers and allow stuffing to spill out. Arrange lemons and potatoes around the fish; serve at once.
