- Step 3: Sprinkle the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the cod fillets.
- Step 4: Top each cod fillet with a few slices of lemon and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
- Store leftover baked cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, gently warm the cod in a low oven or microwave, being careful not to dry it out.
- Serve your oven-baked cod with a bright, green salad and some roasted asparagus for a complete and healthy meal.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the paprika for a subtle kick.
