Ingredients
  

4 (6-ounce) cod fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare the Baking Dish:

        Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

          Make the Garlic-Lemon Mixture:

            In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

              Coat the Cod:

                Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the garlic-lemon mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring they're well coated.

                  Bake the Cod:

                    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as cod can become dry.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        Once done, remove the cod from the oven, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added zing.

                          Enjoy your delicious and healthy Easy Baked Cod with Lemon and Garlic!
