Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish.
- Drizzle the cod fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently rub to coat the fillets evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fillets.
- While the cod is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard. Stir until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the baked cod immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of the fresh lemon-dill sauce.
