Notes
- Store leftover cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For best results, gently reheat baked cod in a 300°F oven to maintain its moisture.
- Serve oven-baked cod with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- For a richer flavor, let the cod marinate in the olive oil mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
