Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Small mixing bowl
Measuring spoons
Pastry brush
Fork or internal thermometer

Ingredients

4 fillets cod 6 ounces each or 170 grams
2 tbsp olive oil 30 ml
1 tsp garlic powder 3.1 grams
1 tsp smoked paprika 2.3 grams
½ tsp onion powder 1.2 grams
½ tsp sea salt 2.5 grams
¼ tsp black pepper 0.6 grams
1 lemon sliced into rounds
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the seasoning to stick and create a better crust.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Brush each cod fillet with olive oil on both sides, then rub the seasoning blend onto the fish, ensuring it's fully coated.
Arrange the seasoned cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet and top each with a slice or two of lemon.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the baked cod from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the seasoning to your liking, adding herbs like dill or thyme for a different flavor profile.

If you're not a fan of lemon, try topping your cod with a keto-friendly salsa or a drizzle of browned butter before serving.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and make a great addition to salads or as a protein boost for other meals.
