Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of each cod fillet, ensuring they are fully coated in the seasoning.
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the seasoned baked cod with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
