Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Capers
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of one lemon, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, and dill. Stir well to mix.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the fillets to season them evenly.
Step 6
Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of each cod fillet.
Step 7
Sprinkle the capers across the fillets, distributing them evenly.
Step 8
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
