Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant marinade.

Season the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them in the baking dish. Brush or spoon the marinade evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.

Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or additional lemon slices, if desired. Serve warm alongside your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
