Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs cod cut into fillets
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Stir together all of the ingredients for the marinade in a measuring cup or a mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Place cod filets in a sealable container or zip lock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag (or container) and move it around until everything is well-coated in marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to 10 hours.
  • When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Transfer the fish, along with the marinade, to a large casserole dish. Bake on the rack that’s second closest to the top of the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until fish is completely cooked through. Cod is fully cooked once it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to get an accurate read.
  • Serve with choice of side dishes. Go with roasted asparagus and cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or I suggest my Lemon Garlic Rosemary Rice
