Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh cod or haddock fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the cod or haddock fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each piece.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper evenly over the fillets for added flavor.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily when tested with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked cod or haddock with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
