Gluten 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 the flavor deep into each fillet, while fresh parsley, thyme, and chives create a bright herb crust that smells incredible the moment it hits the oven. A hit of paprika adds just enough warmth and color to make the finished dish look genuinely beautiful on the plate. One of the quiet wins here is that every single ingredient is naturally free of gluten — no swaps, no substitutions, no label-checking required. Cod is a mild, lean fish that bakes up beautifully at high heat, turning opaque and tender right around that 12–15 minute mark. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the table ties everything together and keeps the flavors clean and lively. This is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again because it's simple, satisfying, and genuinely delicious.
