Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with one tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the cod from sticking.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the fillets.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside for later.
Finely chop the parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, pressing gently to adhere to the surface.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the cod rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
