Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
- Place the cod fillets in a baking dish, drizzle the lemon herb marinade evenly over the fillets, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Don’t overbake the fish to avoid dryness.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; reduce dried herbs by half if used.
- Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning to your preference.
- Lemon zest adds a concentrated burst of flavor; don’t skip it.
- Serve the cod immediately after baking for the best taste and texture.
