Ingredients

  • Zest from 1 large lemon finely grated
  • Zest from 1 small orange finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds cod fish fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional for topping – finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spread the lemon and orange zest on a plate and let them air-dry for 5 to 10 minutes, if time permits, so they don’t clump in the blend.
  • Combine the citrus zest, oregano, thyme, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, coriander, and black pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Pat the fish dry and brush with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fish and pat to make sure it sticks.
  • Bake on a sheet pan for 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Top with optional chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage - leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
