  The cod is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 122°F. If not, broil a little longer.

  Tip: The size of the cod fillets can alter the cooking time. For best results, using a probe, test for doneness 3-5 minutes before the end of the cook. If you don’t have a probe, cod is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
