Notes

Using fresh garlic elevates the flavor?don?t substitute with garlic powder if you can help it. Always dry the cod fillets with paper towels before cooking; this helps achieve that irresistible golden crust. Consider serving with extra lemon wedges on the side, which can brighten the dish and enhance the flavors.
