Ingredients
Fish
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Make Lemon Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare Cod Fillets: Place the cod fillets evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish. Pour the lemon herb mixture over the fillets, coating them thoroughly to ensure maximum flavor infusion.
- Bake Fish: Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Ensure cod fillets are of similar size for even cooking.
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
- Check fish doneness carefully to avoid overcooking and drying out.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side of rice.
- For a lower sodium option, adjust salt to taste or omit.
