Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170g) Cod fillets
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Black pepper
  • 3 tbsp (42g) Unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves (6g) Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) Paprika
  • 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use paper towels to pat the cod fillets completely dry on all sides to ensure seasoning sticks and prevent steaming.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and paprika.
  4. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Generously brush the garlic-butter mixture over the top of each fillet.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the fish is opaque and the butter is bubbling and golden. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley immediately.
