Can I use frozen cod fillets?

Yes, you can use frozen cod fillets. Just make sure to thaw them completely in the fridge before cooking to ensure even baking.

What can I use if I don’t have fresh lemon?

If you don’t have fresh lemon, you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch, though fresh lemon zest and juice give the best flavor.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

To keep the fish moist, reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also use a microwave but reheat it gently to avoid drying out the cod.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for baking fish to ensure that it cooks evenly and flakes easily.
Pat the cod fillets dry and place them in the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, zest, dried thyme, and oregano. Pour this marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
Once baked, remove the cod from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
