Alpha Gal Friendly 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 it takes. The fillets get coated in a bright herb-oil mixture of fresh parsley, thyme, and chives, then roasted until perfectly tender and opaque — no guesswork, just clean, confident flavor. For anyone managing alpha-gal syndrome, fish is a natural go-to protein, and this recipe leans into that beautifully with nothing but seafood, fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic-infused oil. There's no mammalian meat, dairy, or hidden animal byproducts to worry about, so you can sit down to a satisfying plate without second-guessing a single ingredient. The garlic-infused oil does a lot of heavy lifting here, adding depth and richness without any fuss. A squeeze of lemon at the table ties everything together and keeps it feeling light and fresh. It's the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again when you want something wholesome, safe, and genuinely delicious.
