Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350F. Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel if there is moisture on them.
  2. Drizzle the oil over the cod fillets and squeeze a lemon wedge over top. Flip the fillets and give them a rub to coat the fillets evenly.
  3. Season evenly on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Transfer the fillets to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  4. Spoon the pesto over each piece of cod and make sure it fully coats the tops of each fillet.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F (63C). Serve with a lemon wedge and sides of your choice.
