Lemon-Garlic Baked Cod

Lemon garlic cod emerges from the oven tender and flaky, its mild sweetness lifted by bright citrus and savory garlic that melt into every bite. Olive oil and fresh parsley finish the fillets with a silky sheen and a burst of green freshness.

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon
  • 4 (5 ounce) cod fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 clove garlic, grated
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice 8 thin rounds from lemon, squeezing any remaining lemon juice into a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Thoroughly pat fish dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Arrange the fish in an even layer in the baking dish; sprinkle with garlic. Drizzle oil over the fish and let the oil pool in the baking dish. Place 2 lemon rounds on top of each fish fillet. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
