Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh cod fillets
- 1 large Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
Step 2
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and squeeze the lemon juice from one half; slice the remaining lemon half for garnishing.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, paprika, and fresh thyme. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 5
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the herb-lemon marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the lemon slices on top of and around the cod fillets for added flavor and presentation.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with additional parsley or dill if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
