Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Capers
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of one lemon, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, and dill. Stir well to mix.
Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the fillets to season them evenly.
Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of each cod fillet.
Sprinkle the capers across the fillets, distributing them evenly.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
