Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 2 whole Lemon

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a large baking dish.
Zest one of the lemons and set the zest aside. Then, cut the same lemon in half and squeeze its juice over the cod fillets.
Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and set aside for later use.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour this herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, making sure to cover both the top and sides of each fillet.
Arrange the lemon slices over the cod fillets.
Drizzle the melted butter over the lemon-topped fillets.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the reserved lemon zest before serving.
Serve the Nut-Free Lemon Herb Baked Cod hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
