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
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.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures the fish cooks evenly and develops a nice texture.
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.
Place the seasoned cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Add lemon slices on top for extra flavor and a fresh aroma.
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.
