2. Step 2: Place the crusted cod on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until the fish is flaky and the crust is golden.
3. Step 3: While the fish is baking, in a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 cup of milk, 2 beaten eggs, 1 cup of corn kernels, melted butter, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake alongside the fish for 25-30 minutes until set and lightly golden.
