In small heavy skillet, toast cumin and coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Transfer to spice grinder or clean coffee grinder and grind. In a small bowl, combine ground cumin and coriander, paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne (if using). In a medium bowl, combine yogurt with the spice blend and stir in garlic, ginger and saffron.
Pat cod pieces dry; place in a lightly buttered 13 x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. Divide yogurt mixture over each cod piece and spread to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when touched with a fork.
Tips
Pat frozen thawed fish pieces with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
