Barley 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. The fillets get coated in a bright herb-oil mixture of fresh parsley, thyme, and chives, with garlic-infused oil and a hit of lemon zest tying everything together beautifully. Paprika adds a gentle warmth and a touch of color, so the finished dish looks as good as it tastes straight out of the oven. Every ingredient here is naturally grain-free, which means there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — this one just works as written. Cod is a wonderfully mild fish that soaks up the herby coating and bakes up tender and moist at 400°F, flaking apart at the lightest touch of a fork. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the table brightens the whole plate and makes it feel like something you'd order at a nice restaurant. It pairs easily with roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or whatever sides you have on hand.
