Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Chop the fresh parsley, dill, and thyme finely and mix them into the bowl with the olive oil mixture.
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the lemon herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the lemon herb baked cod with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
