Ingredients
  

4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9x13 inches) with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

      Create the Garlic Lemon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Arrange the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the garlic lemon mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

          Bake the Cod: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of zing!
