Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh cod fillets
- 1 large Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and squeeze the lemon juice from one half; slice the remaining lemon half for garnishing.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, paprika, and fresh thyme. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the herb-lemon marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of and around the cod fillets for added flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley or dill if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
