Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ~1 pound cod (whole or individual filets)
  • Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick spray, or a light brush of oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine spices.
  • Place cod on baking sheet, skin side down (if skin on). Blot the cod dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub spice blend on top and sides. For maximum flavor development, let the spice blend sit on the cod ~15 minutes before cooking. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
  • Roast 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. Fish should flake easily with a fork and internal temperature should reach 145ºF.
  • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and lime juice. Enjoy!

Notes

Remove small pin bones before cooking using fish bone tweezers; these are no fun to bite into!
