Main Ingredients

2.34 lbs Cod Atlantic Fish Fresh ensures the best taste and texture.
2 tbsp Avocado Oil Substitute with olive oil for a different flavor profile.
1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper You can use regular black pepper if unavailable.
1 tsp Paprika Smoked paprika can add an extra depth of flavor.
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper Adjust based on your family’s spice tolerance.
1/2 tsp Onion Powder Fresh onions can be used in moderation.
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh crushed garlic can elevate the taste.
1/2 tsp Parsley Substitute with fresh herbs like dill or cilantro.
1/2 tsp Salt and Pepper Use kosher salt for a cleaner taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse and wash the fish with lemon juice and water; pat dry to remove all excess water.
Set a large baking pan with baking paper and place the fish on top.
Mix all seasonings together in a small bowl and smother all over the fish, followed by the avocado oil.

Cooking

Bake the fish for 15-20 minutes until cooked to your liking.
Garnish with more lemon juice, parsley, and honey. Enjoy!

Notes

Common mistakes to avoid: Overcooking the fish; skipping the pat dry step; neglecting seasoning. Pro tips: Serve with a lemon wedge and slice of avocado; experiment with seasonal vegetables; leftovers can be flaked into salads.
