Baked Cod with Garlic Butter Lemon Sauce Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 (6-oz) cod fillets

  about 1/2-2 inches thick, skinless and boneless
• salt and pepper

  to taste
• 1 small shallot

  finely minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• lemon slices
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  plus more for serving
• 1 lemon

  (about 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice plus zest)
• 2 garlic cloves

  minced or pressed
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 2 Place cod fillets in a baking dish lightly brushed with olive oil, leaving space
  around the fish. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle minced
  shallots over the top of the fillets.
• 3 Combine softened butter, parsley, lemon juice (1 1/2 tablespoons), zest from 1
  lemon, garlic, Dijon, and paprika in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and
  spreadable.
• 4 Top each fillet with dollops of the lemon garlic butter mixture and then spread
  over the tops and sides.
• 5 Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked; the cook time will depend on
  the thickness of your fillet. Remove from oven, transfer the fillets to a
  serving platter (or plates), and pan juices and sauce over the top. Serve with
  fresh parsley and lemon slices.
