Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets 5 to 6 ounces per fillet
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 wedge lemon juiced
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel if there is moisture on them.
- 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.

- Spoon the pesto over each piece of cod and make sure it fully coats the tops of each fillet.
