Lemon Cod – The AskDrErnst Way

Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fillets (wild-caught)

  • 1/4 cup organic avocado oil mayo

  • 1 fresh lemon

  • Sea salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Lightly coat a baking dish or sheet with avocado oil.

  3. Place the cod fillets on the baking sheet.

  4. Generously coat the top of each fillet with avocado oil mayo so they are fully covered (this helps keep the cod moist while baking).

  5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the tops and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.

  6. Bake for about 8–10 minutes (cod is thicker and more delicate than mahi, so it needs slightly longer at this stage).

  7. Switch the oven to broil at 475°F and lower the rack. Broil for 3–5 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple side salad.
