Ingredients

  • 500g cod fillets, skin removed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 lemon, sliced thinly

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Optional: cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.

Step 2: Season the Cod

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. Rub this mixture evenly over the cod fillets.

  3. Place lemon slices on top of the fillets for extra aroma.

Step 3: Bake the Cod

  1. Place the cod on the prepared baking tray.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Transfer the cod to serving plates.

  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Baked Cod

  • Even fillets: Choose cod fillets of similar thickness for uniform cooking.

  • Don’t overbake: Cod cooks quickly; overbaking makes it dry.

  • Add veggies: Bake cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini alongside for a complete meal.

  • Flavor boost: A drizzle of white wine or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving enhances taste.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Healthy & Lean: Cod is low in fat but high in protein.

  • Quick & Easy: From prep to plate in under 25 minutes.

  • Customizable: Add herbs, spices, or vegetables to suit your taste.

  • Elegant & Light: Perfect for weeknight dinners or serving guests.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or quinoa.

  • A crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio complements the fish perfectly.

  • Add a simple side salad or garlic bread for a balanced, delicious meal.
