Oven-Baked Murray Cod with Lemon and Thyme

Ingredients:

  • 2 Murray Cod fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C
  2. Prepare the Fillets: Rinse the Murray Cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Marinate: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves. Brush this mixture over both sides of the fillets.
  4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the seasoned fillets in a baking dish. Arrange lemon slices on top of and around the fillets.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides.

Tips:

  • For extra flavour, you can add a splash of white wine to the baking dish before baking.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or a side of roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
