This was good but not excellent.  Maybe I just don't like cod.  I baked the fillets for 11 minutes and they were done perfectly.

 

1 lb. Alaskan cod fillets, rinsed and patted dry

1.5 Tbsp avocado oil

1 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Smoked paprika

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line a baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil topped with parchment paper.
• Arrange cod fillets on prepared baking sheet. 
• Drizzle avocado oil onto each fillet, followed by lemon juice, and Himalayan salt.
• Sprinkle fillets with smoked paprika.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cod. Serve immediately.

Salmon fillets are best cooked starting with the skin-side down. This prevents over-browning the meat, which can make it dry and pretty unappealing to look at on the plate. "When pan-frying or grilling, cook salmon fillets skin-side down for 5-7 minutes, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes
