Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the 4 cod fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over the fillets and brush or rub to coat both sides.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder evenly over the fillets: sprinkle half of each seasoning on the top, flip each fillet, then sprinkle the remaining half on the bottom.
- Cut the 1 lemon into slices. Squeeze the lemon (or the remaining lemon halves) to drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fillets, then place a few lemon slices on top of the fish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, starting to check at 12 minutes. The cod is done when it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- Chop the 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves and sprinkle over the baked cod before serving.
