Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Alaska cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (optional, for extra texture)
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Pat the Alaska cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with half the salt and black pepper.
Place the seasoned fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, dill, and the remaining salt and pepper. If you're using breadcrumbs for extra texture, stir them into the mixture.
Spoon the gremolata mixture evenly over the tops of the cod fillets, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the cod for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cod rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the roasted Alaska cod with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with your favorite sides such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
