Easy Baked Cod Recipe


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) fresh cod fillets (or frozen, thawed)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1 lemon (sliced for garnish and juice)

  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cod Fillets

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures the fish cooks evenly and develops a nice texture.

Step 3: Season the Cod

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the cod fillets.

Step 4: Arrange in the Baking Dish

Place the seasoned cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Add lemon slices on top for extra flavor and a fresh aroma.

Step 5: Bake the Cod

Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the cod moist and tender.
