Pecan Free Herb-Baked Cod
Flaky, fragrant, and ready in under 20 minutes, this herb-baked cod is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it requires. Garlic-infused oil carries the flavors of fresh parsley, thyme, and chives deep into each fillet, while lemon juice and zest keep everything bright and clean-tasting. A touch of paprika adds just enough warmth and color to make the finished dish look genuinely beautiful on the plate. Because the ingredient list is built entirely around fresh herbs, citrus, and simple pantry staples, there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden nut-based coatings or toppings sneaking in. The method is straightforward — whisk, spoon, bake — and the oven does most of the heavy lifting while you set the table. Serve it straight from the baking dish with a few lemon wedges and you've got a light, satisfying meal that works just as well for a quiet dinner at home as it does for company.
