Ingredients
- Cod fillets: 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each)
- Lemon juice: 1/4 cup (freshly squeezed)
- Garlic: 4 cloves (minced)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons (chopped)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Place the marinated cod on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Do not over-marinate the cod to avoid a mushy texture.
- Check for doneness by ensuring the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Garnish with lemon wedges for extra flavor.
