  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the fillets, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  5. Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  7. Serve the baked cod topped with the fresh peach salsa immediately.

Notes

For extra zest, serve with a side of cilantro-lime rice or a mixed green salad. You can swap peaches with nectarines in season.
