I used a package of frozen (& thawed) cod (from Trader Joe's - the quality & taste of their frozen fish is outstanding!) for this quick & easy dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a lightly greased aluminum baking pan, place fish so that it's not touching or overlapping.
Smear pulverized garlic over fish (just a clove or 2).
Drizzle with several Tblsp. olive oil & then squeeze a fresh, cut lemon evenly over fish (1/4 cup)
If you have fresh herbs, USE fresh!! Otherwise dried herbs are fine.
Sprinkle liberally (& evenly) with the following seasonings (to taste):
fresh ground pepper
sea salt OR kosher salt
oregano
marjoram
thyme
dash of cayenne (ground red pepper)
freshly minced parsley
paprika
Bake for 10 minutes @400 degrees, then immediately put the broiler on - remove pan from the oven and put the fish under the broiler for just a minute or 2, just until the top crisps up a bit.
This works really well with most fish, so experiment with your favorite fish, like flounder or sole (less cooking time since it's not as fleshy as cod) or tilapia (which is a fresh water, not ocean fish). --- add/subtract your favorite seasonings & herbs!
