Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Cut four 12-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

03

Step
1 mins

Brush each cod fillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

04

Step
2 mins

Place each fillet in the center of an aluminum foil square.

05

Step
2 mins

Arrange lemon slices along the length of each fillet, followed by garlic slices and chopped chives.

06

Step
18 mins

Fold the foil over the fish and crimp the edges tightly to create sealed packets, ensuring no steam can escape.

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Carefully open the foil packets (beware of escaping steam) and serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of dry white wine or chicken broth to each foil packet before sealing.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme.
If you don't have fresh chives, 1 teaspoon of dried chives can be substituted.
Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to effectively steam the fish.
