- Serve the baked cod hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.

- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of paprika or red pepper flakes to the cod before baking.
- Make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your cod fillets to prevent overcooking.
- To ensure the fish stays moist, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and leave some space between each fillet.
- Feel free to customize the herbs based on your preferences. Thyme, rosemary, or basil can also work well in this recipe.
