👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease a baking pan.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and black pepper and spread the mixture over the cod.
  3. 3
    Place the cod in the greased baking pan.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Roast the cod in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 15–18 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.

    💡A fillet is done when the flesh is opaque even in the thickest part and flakes when pressed with a fork; a few more minutes in the oven and it dries out.
  5. 5
    Scatter the herbs on top.
