GREEK-STYLE BAKED COD RECIPE WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Following the Mediterranean diet, fish is kinda essential for my family. It’s about the one food that shows up on the menu twice every week.

Sometimes, our fish dinners go far–as far as a fish stew from Sicily or an Egyptian-inspired fish Shakshuka cooked in a tasty tomato sauce. But more often than not,  I opt for something simple like pan-seared salmon or today’s baked cod recipe with lemon and garlic.

This easy Greek-style baked cod recipe has quickly become a regular on my dinner rotation! A handful of Mediterranean spices plus a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic, give it glorious flavor. See video & suggestions for what to serve along!
