MONDAY MORNING RECIPE POST - EASY BAKED COD WITH LEMON

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.

    I 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.

    That 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

    Very nice. Fish is so expensive these days, but then, what isn't?
