Ingredients :
4 cod fillets (approximately 6oz each)
3 tablespoons of olive oil
3 minced garlic cloves
1 citron, jus et zeste
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Minced fresh parsley (for garnish)
lemon corner ( to be served)
Instructions :
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Make the lemon and garlic mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper.
Prepare the cod: place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the lemon garlic mixture over the fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Cook the Cod: Cook the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flaky easily using an oven
Garnish and Serve: Top baked cod with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair it with steamed vegetables, rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
Useful tips:
Add Veggies: You can add thinly sliced vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes to a cooking dish for a one-pan meal.
Check the doneness: cod is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
