(5 g) black pepper (biber)0.5 teaspoon

Oil (I use olive oil)1 pieces

2-3 cloves garlic, minced1 pieces

(4 g) fresh parsley, minced1 tablespoon

(6 g) Vegeta seasoning1 teaspoon

(60 ml) fresh lemon juice4 tablespoons

(60 ml) oil (I use olive oil)4 tablespoons

Pinch of salt (2-3 g)1 pieces

Method

Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C) and line a baking sheet with parchement paper. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients and set aside so the flavors can develop.

Remove your cod from it's packaging and rinse in clean water. Pat dry with a paper towel and make sure it's completely dry. Cut your fish into desired pieces.

On a large plate, pour the cornmeal, salt, and black pepper (biber). Take some additional salt and salt the fish generously to your liking, then coat the fish with the cornmeal mixture. Make sure to get into all the crevices and press the cornmeal into the fish to create a light crust.

When you've coated the fish, drizzle a tablespoon or so of oil onto the parchment paper. Lay the fish down, then lightly drizzle some oil over the top.

Bake the fish between 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Then, turn on your broiler and broil the fish for 5-7 minutes to brown the top.

Serve hot with the lemon-garlic preliv/sauce and additional lemon slices on the side.
