Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl and set it aside. Thinly slice the remaining lemon peel for garnishing.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the cod fillets in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the marinade evenly over the cod fillets, making sure each fillet is well-coated.
Dot the top of the fillets with small pieces of butter.
Arrange the sliced lemon peels around and on top of the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the Keto Lemon Herb Baked Cod hot, garnished with any remaining fresh parsley. Enjoy with a side of your favorite keto vegetables.
