Ingredients
-
4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
-
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme), finely chopped
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
-
Kosher salt, to taste
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the cod fillets in a single layer.
-
Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
-
Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, coating the surface with the flavorful butter blend.
-
Add lemon slices: Tuck some lemon slices underneath the fish and place the rest on top of the fillets.
-
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the cod turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Finish and serve: Once baked, spoon some of the pan juices over the fish for extra flavor. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
