Ingredients
- 1.1 lb (500 g) cod fish 4 fillets about 1 in thick, fresh or frozen
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed recommended
- ½ tsp sea salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper or to taste
- smoked paprika optional to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a glass or ceramic baking dish (about 11 x 7 inches) with foil or parchment paper.
If using frozen cod, ensure it is completely thawed and patted dry with paper towels.
Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and then season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika or seasonings of your choice. Make sure to evenly distribute oil and seasonings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Do not overbake, as cod fish tends to dry fast.
Serve warm, drizzled with more olive oil and fresh lemon juice on top.
