Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps them roast evenly and prevents steaming.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the cod fillets and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Sprinkle the roasted cod with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
