3. 3. Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. 4. Evenly distribute the herb mixture over the top of the cod fillets, gently pressing it into the fish.
5. 5. Bake the cod for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
