Directions

30 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), positioning the rack in the middle. My advice here is to always try to position your fish in the center of the oven for even cooking.

2. Step

Place the cod fillets in a baking dish and drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil. Evenly season the fillets with salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme— it’s essential not to skimp on the seasoning as it gives the dish a boosting flavor. Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor absorption.

3. Step

Place the lemon slices on top of the fillets. This step uplifts the taste by subtly infusing it in the fish plus adds a visually appealing touch to the dish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the slices.

4. Step

Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets. I usually check at about 10 minutes, and it's done when it flakes easily with a fork but is still moist.

5. Step

Take the dish out of the oven and leave it to rest for a few minutes, this allows the flavors to settle in. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for added color and fresh taste, then it’s ready to serve.

6. Step

This Baked Cod is best enjoyed with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad, making it the perfect staple for the categories of main dish, fish & seafood, and healthy recipes. Enjoy!
