Notes

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs cod, cut into fillets
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl or measuring cup, mix avocado oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Fish: Place the cod fillets in a resealable container or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, seal the container, and gently move it around to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 10 hours.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Bake the Cod: Transfer the marinated cod and any remaining marinade to a large baking dish. Place the dish on the second-highest oven rack and bake for 15 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Pair with roasted asparagus and cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or enjoy with Lemon Garlic Rosemary Rice for added flavor.
 

Notes:

  • To make this recipe low-FODMAP, omit the garlic.
