Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper adjust for spice preference
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil on both sides.
  • Generously coat fillets with seasoning mixture, pressing to help it stick.
  • Place seasoned fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, swap regular paprika for smoked paprika. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
