Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
  3. Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the lemon pepper marinade over the cod, making sure to coat each fillet evenly.
  4. Let the cod marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.

  6. Remove the baked cod from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Serve the lemon pepper baked cod hot, accompanied by lemon slices for squeezing over the fish if desired.
  8. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Lemon Pepper Baked Cod!
