  2. Marinate the Cod:

    • Place the dish in the oven, positioning it on the rack that’s second from the top.
    • Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve with your favorite sides, like roasted asparagus and cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or try Lemon Garlic Rosemary Rice for a tasty pairing.
 

Notes:
