Instructions:

Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Coat the Fish:
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the garlic-lemon mixture over them, making sure they’re fully coated.

Bake the Cod:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
