Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lemon to taste
  • chimichurri sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 10 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked through.
  • While the fish cooks, prepare the chimichurri sauce.
  • Remove the fish from the oven and drizzle a bit of lemon juice on each piece. Then, pour the chimichurri sauce over the fish fillets and enjoy!

Notes

  • Take the cod fish out of the fridge for at least 20 minutes before cooking. This will ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Fish cooks extremely quickly, especially at 400 degrees, I recommend checking it at the 10-minute mark.
  • For best results, use the freshest cod, best quality olive oil, and freshest parsley you can find!
  • Season the fish generously with lots of Kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Pat dry each cod fillet with a paper towel before seasoning, to remove any excess moisture.
