Almond Free Herb-Baked Cod
Flaky, fragrant, and ready in under 20 minutes, this baked cod is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. Garlic-infused oil carries a trio of fresh herbs — parsley, thyme, and chives — across the surface of each fillet, creating a bright, savory crust as it bakes. A hit of lemon juice and zest keeps everything tasting clean and lively, while paprika adds just a whisper of warmth and color. The whole dish is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess what's hiding in a sauce or coating. Cod is a naturally mild, lean fish that soaks up this herb mixture beautifully, and baking it at high heat means the flesh turns perfectly opaque and tender without drying out. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the table ties it all together and makes it feel restaurant-worthy on a Tuesday night.
