Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 lb cod fillets, patted dry
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges to serve
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in one layer.
- Season the cod on both sides with the salt and black pepper and arrange it in the dish.
- Stir the melted butter, garlic, paprika, onion powder, cayenne if using, and lemon juice together and spoon the mixture evenly over the fish.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may need 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Scatter the basil or parsley over the top and serve at once with lemon wedges.
