Ingredients

• 4 (6-8 ounce) cod fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
3. Place cod fillets in the prepared baking dish.
4. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
5. Top with lemon slices, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

• For best results, use skin-on fillets and pat them dry with paper towels before baking.
• To prevent the fish from drying out, you can cover the baking dish with foil for the first 10 minutes, then remove the foil for the remaining time.
• Serve with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or rice.
• Store leftover cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
