Notes

Pat the cod dry before seasoning to help the spices stick and achieve a crispy outer layer.
Feel free to increase the amount of garlic for a stronger flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the cod reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety.
For a stunning presentation, garnish with extra lemon slices and fresh parsley. Serve on a bed of steamed vegetables or a colorful salad.
