\nPreheat the Oven:<\/strong> Start by preheating your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Make sure the oven rack is positioned in the middle to ensure even cooking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nPrepare the Lemon Herb Mixture:<\/strong> In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nMarinate the Cod:<\/strong> Pat the cod fillets dry using a paper towel. This helps the marinade adhere better. Place the fillets in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb mixture over them. Make sure each fillet is well-coated. Allow the cod to marinate for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- \n
Prepare the Baking Dish:<\/strong> While the cod is marinating, lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Arrange the marinated cod fillets in a single layer in the dish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Bake the Cod:<\/strong> Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The cod is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque all the way through. Be careful not to overcook to maintain a moist, tender texture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Garnish and Serve:<\/strong> Once baked, transfer the cod to serving plates. Garnish each fillet with slices of fresh lemon and sprigs of parsley for an attractive presentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/span>Conclusion:<\/span><\/h4>\nWith its bright, refreshing flavors and simple preparation, Zesty Lemon Herb Cod is a true culinary delight.
