Ingredients
- 4 black cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
- Season the Fish: Pat the black cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the fillets on top of the lemon slices in the baking dish.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, white wine, chicken or vegetable stock, melted butter, Dijon mustard, thyme leaves, and parsley. Pour the sauce evenly over the fish fillets.
- Bake the Fish: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve the baked black cod with the lemon slices and sauce from the baking dish. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
