Follow these steps to bake cod fillets until they are flaky and moist using simple lemon and herb seasonings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 oz) cod fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 thin lemon slices for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spoon the oil mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet.
  5. Place one thin lemon slice on top of each fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To keep the fish moist, avoid overcooking. Check for doneness at 12 minutes.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs, using double the amount specified.
  • For a complete meal, add asparagus or cherry tomatoes to the baking dish around the fish before baking.
