Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the cod fillets. Gently pat them completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step to ensure the topping sticks and the fish bakes perfectly. Arrange the fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, prepare the lemon herb topping. Whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh dill until well combined.
Season the cod fillets evenly on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon the lemon herb mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet. Arrange 2-3 thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For perfect results, use a food thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the fish rest for a minute. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. This step is crucial for getting crispy edges. In a large bowl, toss the dry florets with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until every piece is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the florets to promote roasting rather than steaming. Use two pans if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through the cooking time. The broccoli is done when the stems are tender-crisp and the edges are browned and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven. For a bright, fresh finish, squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the hot broccoli, if using. Serve immediately for the best texture.
