Baked Cod with Lemon and Garlic

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon slices, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the Marinade:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika.

3. Season the Fish:
   Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the lemon garlic marinade evenly over the top of each fillet, making sure they’re well coated.

4. Bake the Cod:
   Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may need a minute or two longer.

5. Garnish and Serve:
   Take the cod out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and add a few lemon slices on the side. Serve right away with your favorite sides like roasted veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
