Seed Oil Free Herb-Baked Cod
Flaky, fragrant, and genuinely satisfying, this baked cod is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The hero here is garlic-infused oil — a clean, flavorful fat that keeps things light without leaning on any of the industrially processed vegetable or seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought marinades and sauces. A bright herb mixture of parsley, thyme, and chives gets whisked together with lemon juice and zest, then spooned generously over each fillet before it hits the oven. The result is tender, perfectly cooked fish with a coating that's aromatic and just a little citrusy. Avoiding refined oils doesn't mean sacrificing richness or depth — this dish proves that point beautifully. Serve it straight from the oven with a squeeze of fresh lemon, and dinner is done.
