Ingredients
- honey
- olive oil
- garlic
- paprika
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Get your oven ready by preheating it to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cod cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, start by whisking together honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix for about 1–2 minutes until smooth and glossy.
- Arrange cod fillets in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the marinade evenly over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated for flavor.
- Let the cod marinate at room temperature for around 10 minutes. This short wait helps infuse the flavors deeply into the fish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 12–15 minutes. The cod should be opaque in the center and flaky when done.
- Once baked, remove the cod from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. This adds a lovely finishing touch.
