Ingredients
- 2 fillets cod fish, about 4 ounces per fillet, try to get thick pieces rather than long and thin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup jarred capers, drained
- 2 whole lemons, slice one lemon into 1/4 inch slices, save the second for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lay down two rows of sliced lemon onto a baking dish. (I did mine in two separate baking dishes.) The rows should be long enough to allow the entire piece of fish to sit on top of it.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the fish and lay one fillet onto each row of sliced lemons.
- Sprinkle the capers over top of the fish.
- Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, thyme and oregano. Drizzle evenly over each fillet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
