Ingredients
Fish
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined, creating a flavorful lemon herb marinade.
- Coat Cod Fillets: Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is fully coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Bake the Cod: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cod is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of freshness, and serve immediately for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Ensure not to overcook the cod as it can become dry; watch for opaque color and flaking texture.
- You can substitute dried herbs with fresh ones; just use about 3 times the amount for fresh herbs.
- Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- For a slightly tangier flavor, add a splash of white wine to the marinade.
