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.
