Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 cod fillets

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • Juice of 2 lemons

    • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • Lemon slices for garnish

    • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the oven is at the right temperature for even cooking, helping the cod develop a golden crust without drying out.

  2. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. This flavorful marinade will infuse the cod with zesty, aromatic notes.

  3. Marinate the Cod:
    Place 4 cod fillets in a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Pour the marinade over the fillets, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Use a spoon or brush to spread the marinade evenly if needed. Let the cod marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish, enhancing its natural taste.

  4. Bake the Cod:
    Once the cod has marinated, transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as cod can dry out quickly. The result should be tender, flaky fillets with a golden edge.

  5. Serve and Garnish:
    Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and sprigs of rosemary for a vibrant, elegant presentation. Serve the baked cod with steamed vegetables, a light citrus salad, or a side of quinoa for a complete, balanced meal.
