Baked Cod
Ingredients
- 4 (4- to 6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
- Salt and black pepper
- Salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or dill (or 1 ½ teaspoons dried)
- 1 tablespoon minced scallions or chives
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced, or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 small lemon
Steps
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding. Season all over with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, parsley, scallions and garlic. Zest the lemon over the bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons) and mix well with a fork.
- Brush the herb mixture all over the fillets, turning to coat on both sides. Squeeze half the zested lemon over the dish, then cut the remaining lemon half into wedges.
- Bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 14 to 18 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the fillets. Spoon the juices over the fish and serve hot, with the lemon wedges alongside.
