Description

Simple, fresh, and beautifully light—this dish lets flaky cod shine with a punch of citrus and fragrant herbs. Roasted alongside caramelized Brussels sprouts, it’s an easy weeknight dinner that feels effortlessly elegant and nourishing.


Ingredients

Scale

4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, thinly sliced (plus extra juice)

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt & pepper to taste

1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.

While sprouts roast, season cod with salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Top each fillet with lemon slices.

Add cod to baking sheet, return to oven and bake 12–15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and sprouts are golden.

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
