Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a single layer in a baking dish.
  3. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over the fillets (about 1/2 tablespoon per fillet) and brush to coat both sides.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder evenly over the tops of the fillets; flip each fillet and repeat the seasoning on the underside.
  5. Cut the lemon into thin slices. Squeeze some of the lemon slices over the fillets to drizzle with fresh lemon juice, then arrange the remaining lemon slices on top of the fillets.
  6. Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, until the cod is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Chop the fresh parsley leaves, sprinkle the 1 tablespoon over the baked cod, and serve.
