Today’s recipe comes from a blog called Imagine Living, recipe found here. Much enjoyed by both of us. In the directions it says to allow time for the cod to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Easy Baked Cod with Lemon - serves 4
For the cod:
4 cod filets (about 6 ounces or 170 g each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons (1 for juice and 1 for slices)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
(There was a suggestion for trying a gluten-free breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping)
Preheat oven to 400°F. (200°C.).
Make the marinade by adding the olive oil, juice of one lemon, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well to blend.
Place the cod filets in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over them and make sure they are well coated. Do this for a good 30 minutes before baking, if you have the time.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for at least 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from oven and sprinkle parsley all over the fish to serve.
A very easy and delicious meal. We served sautéed mushroom, green beans and mashed potatoes on the side, along with a slice of lemon to sprinkle over the cod.
I highly recommend visiting the original recipe for any tips I haven’t written down, also to see other recipes. They also have a lot of variations we can use. The full address is below, for you to copy and paste if you prefer doing that to using the link at the beginning.

Thanks for looking, have a great day and
Bon Appetite!
A delicious and tasty dish, we love fish!
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great start to the week, hugs Elke
Thank you Elke and you are very welcome. We are trying to eat more seafood and this recipe was very good. Thinking of you and hoping your week goes well. Hugs, Denise
DeleteYour meal does look very tasty and nice, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, it was both :)
DeleteI haven’t eaten cod for quite a while, Denise. Maybe I am overdue and you’ve just provided the impetus for a trip to the local fishmonger.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to sow the seed David :)
DeleteThat looks delicious. I do a very similar thing with haddock filets. It was my husbands signature meal. He would always add baked potato and spinach
ReplyDeleteHaddock is another very nice fish I would like to try Ann. Your husband's choice of a baked potato and spinach would be perfect :)
DeleteVery nice. Fish is so expensive these days, but then, what isn't?
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice :) and yes, it certainly is getting very expensive. As you say, what isn't? :(
DeleteThe cod and meal look delicious Denise, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day! Have a wonderful week ahead.
Thank you Eileen, happy you thought so and you are very welcome. I wish you the same :)
DeleteThis recipe is wonderfully straightforward while offering a fresh, bright flavor from the lemon and herbs. Allowing the cod to marinate enhances the taste and keeps the fish tender during baking. Considering a light sprinkle of gluten-free breadcrumbs could add a pleasant texture without overpowering the dish. Pairing it with simple vegetables and mashed potatoes makes this a balanced and satisfying meal.
ReplyDeleteHello Melody and thank you. I'm happy you think so :)
DeleteYour dinner plate looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol, happy you think so :)
DeleteDelicious picture and what a perfect presentation
ReplyDeleteWe all eat with our eyes first
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you Cecilia and always trying on how it appeals, even to me when I look at a plate of food :) That's a great expression in your last sentence, very true! Hugs, Denise
DeleteWygląda pysznie. Udanego weekendu życzę 😊
ReplyDeleteBardzo dziękuję. Cieszę się, że tak myślisz. Życzę wspaniałego dalszego tygodnia!
DeleteI love meaty cod! This looks so good and healthy too.
ReplyDeleteMe too and after hubby's birthday meals, we were both trying to eat healthier this week :)
DeleteSounds very good to me!
ReplyDeleteVery glad it does Sandra, thank you :)
DeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteHappy you think so Regine, thank you :)
DeleteI have a husband who is very particular about seafood. It can't smell fishy! I opened a packet of abalone tuna yesterday for tuna salad and he thought he smelled a fishy smell but he persevered and ate more than I expected on his lettuce salad.
ReplyDeleteI'll bookmark this recipe in case I can find cod that is really fresh.
As you may know orange roughy is a really tasty fish that doesn't smell fishy or "smell" up the kitchen. I used to see it more often, and its really expensive the last time I saw it. Linda in Kansas (nope, no orange roughy is our little ponds.)
DeleteI have to say I am very particular too and I don't like the real fishy smell in fish. This was definitely non fishy but I'm wondering if your husband has a super nose? That might sound a bit silly but I have known people with extra super sensory noses and he may be one of them. Hubby is like that, truly :)
DeleteI've never tried orange roughy Linda, thanks for the tip. We keep our eye open for good deals on everything these days. Hopefully we will get one on our next fish purchase as we noticed the jump in price.
DeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteYou got me, with easy! :) Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteEasy is my mantra these days. Thanks Ellen :)
DeleteLooks good and so healthy. Love mushrooms :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you and me too Ananka, I have always loved them :)
DeleteSounds good! Just curious, I remember that oregano is pronounced differently in England. Do you say "or- reg-an-o" or "or-ree-gan-o"?
ReplyDeleteI looked that up Kay because after over 50 years of living in the States, I am crossing that line where confusion begins of things once said in a different way :) From what I read, oregano in British English is pronounced o-ri-GAH-no.
DeleteBaked Cod with lemon definitely one of my favourite dishes.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It's a lovely dish, isn't it Jan? :) All the best to you too, Denise
DeleteI haven't baked cod in a long time, but your whole plate photo is making me quite hungry. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Erika, I appreciate you sharing that :)
DeleteIt does look lovely, and so comforting!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny, happy you think so :)
DeleteWow! This looks absolutely heavenly. I'm getting hungry.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, so glad you like this Kay and thank you :)
Deletelooks delicious, I use gf bread crumbs all the time, they also have panko gf crumbs and seasoned ones
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :) it was good to know about the gf breadcrumbs.
DeleteI sure wish I liked fish more than I do. I want to.
ReplyDeleteSandie, all I ate before I got married was fish and chips. I married into a seafood loving family. It took a lot of years for me to get a bit more adventurous, believe me :) There are still certain types of fish I won't touch but I enjoy cod, haddock, tilapia, trout as long as it is grilled, shrimp but none of the shellfish. Point me in the direction of a clam, oyster or any of those shellfish and I will walk in the other direction. Husband loves fried clams but not oysters. My mum used to love cockles and mussels and as kids we had to move far, far away. My dad didn't liked fish much, except for fish and chips which we always used to get on a Friday.
DeleteThat does look good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy :)
