Herb and Lemon Baked Cod or Salmon

Happy New Year! I'll start the year off with a healthier dish - one we all love. The nice thing about making simple salmon or cod in this way is it's both aesthetically pleasing, and the lemon keeps the fish nice and moist during cooking.  I love the flavor of fresh dill, chives and lemon on the fish.  For a little extra flavor, you can add a sprinkling of thinly sliced red onion or minced garlic.  Great served with a salad or rice.  Enjoy!

Herb and Lemon Baked Cod or Salmon


Preheat oven to 400 F.
Line baking pan with aluminum foil, turning up the sides to avoid drips spreading around the pan.

Place slices of salmon or cod on the foil-lined pan.  You can make as much or little of this recipe as you need.  The above pan is a 9x13 pan, and served 6.   

Sprinkle the top of the fish with the following:
fresh dill, diced
fresh chives, minced
salt & pepper

Drizzle the tops of the fish with:
lemon-infused olive oil (regular olive oil works, too, but the lemon-infused adds a richer flavor)

Top fish with thin slices of fresh lemon.

Bake at 400 F for ~16 - 20 minutes until thoroughly cooked.  This depends on the thickness/cuts of fish - check with a fork if it's flaking in the thickest part.  (Thicker/wider pieces may need a few extra minutes and thinner/narrow pieces will be more like the 16 minute time-frame).

Fresh baked fish is wonderful served alongside a fresh salad or with rice or potatoes.
