Ingredients
Scale:
4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon capers (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, lemon zest, and oregano over the fish.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the lemon garlic sauce over the cod fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Once baked, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
