Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-5 oz each) Cod fillets
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces (optional, for serving) Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil and seasoning mixture evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring the fillets are fully coated.
Step 5
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the baked cod hot with optional lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete, low-point meal.
