Soy 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 flavors of fresh parsley, thyme, and chives deep into each fillet, while lemon juice and zest keep everything bright and clean-tasting. Paprika adds a gentle warmth and a touch of color to the finished dish — simple details that make a real difference on the plate. Soy can sneak into a surprising number of store-bought marinades and seasoning blends, so building the herb coating yourself from scratch means you stay in full control of every ingredient. Patting the fillets dry before spooning on the herb oil helps the coating cling and ensures the fish bakes up tender rather than steaming in excess moisture. Serve it straight from the oven with a squeeze of lemon and you have a light, satisfying meal that works just as well for a casual family dinner as it does for guests.
