Ingredients

4 cod fillets about 8 ounces each
4 garlic cloves minced and divided
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons non-pareil capers
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pat fish dry. Place a square of parchment paper big enough to fit each fish fillet (or you can put two in one as I did here) on a baking sheet and place the fish in the center. Drizzle with olive oil, add garlic, dill, oregano, capers, salt and pepper.
Fold the parchment paper over the fish and roll up the edges to seal closed. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes or until fish reaches 145 degrees. It should flake easily.

Notes

It is important to make sure that the edges of the packets are closed or the steam will escape as it cooks. You can fold over and crimp the edges closed to secure it.
