Brazil Nut 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, fresh parsley, thyme, and chives come together into a bright herb coating that perfumes the fish as it bakes, while a hit of lemon juice and zest keeps everything tasting clean and vibrant. Cod is a naturally mild fish, so it soaks up every bit of that herby, garlicky goodness without being overwhelmed. The paprika adds a subtle warmth and a gorgeous golden color on top — a small touch that makes a real visual difference on the plate. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut derivatives sneaking into your dinner. Just pat the fillets dry, spoon over the herb oil, and let the oven do the rest. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and maybe a simple green salad, and you've got a meal that's as satisfying as it is fuss-free.
