Cod should be baked at about 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. This is more than sufficient cooking time since cod is a delicate fish and is easily overcooked. When in doubt, if the fish flakes easily with a fork it is finished cooking and ready to eat.
Cook most fish to a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 Celsius). Game fish such as tuna or marlin should only be cooked to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 Celsius) or it will dry out and become unpalatable.
