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.
