Chili Lime Baked Cod

This Chili Lime Baked Cod features cod fillets marinated in a blend of avocado oil, lime juice and zest, garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, and sea salt. Baking the coated fillets at 400 degrees F produces a moist and flavorful fish with bright citrus notes complemented by mild smoky spices. The marinade balances heat and aroma while enhancing the cod's natural flaky texture. It pairs well with roasted vegetables or rice.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs cod cut into fillets
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic minced, large clove
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika ground
  • 1 1/2 tsp oregano dried
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stir together all of the ingredients for the marinade in a measuring cup or a mixing bowl until well combined.
  2. Place cod filets in a sealable container or zip lock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag (or container) and move it around until everything is well-coated in marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to 10 hours.
  3. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  4. Transfer the fish, along with the marinade, to a large casserole dish. Bake on the rack that’s second closest to the top of the oven for 15 minutes, or until fish is completely cooked through.
  5. Serve with choice of side dishes. Go with roasted asparagus and cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or I suggest my Lemon Garlic Rosemary Rice

Notes

  • For a low-FODMAP version, omit the garlic from the marinade.
