Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Cod fillets
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon, chopped
- Lemon
- 1, sliced
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cod fillets in a baking dish, leaving enough space between them for even cooking.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme over the cod, followed by a generous pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Arrange the lemon slices on top of the cod fillets, adding an extra layer of flavor and preventing the fish from drying out.
- Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the fish to retain its juices.
- Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete, nutritious meal.
