Baked Butter Garlic Herb Cod

Cod is a little denser and less fishy like mahi mahi. This recipe was so tasty! I drizzled some of the juices over the rice and a steamed vegetable. YUM. Serves 4. Enjoy!

Baked Butter Garlic Herb Cod

4 6-oz cod filets

3 Tbsp butter, softened

1 Tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp fresh herbs, chopped, such as parsley, thyme, or chives

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp pepper

1 lemon, thinly sliced*

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place cod in a baking dish; set aside.

2. Mix butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spread butter mixture over each fillet.

3. Lay lemon slice over each fillet.* 

4. Bake fillets in preheated oven 13 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes off easily in the center with a fork.

* When I don't have a lemon on hand, I add 1 Tbps lemon juice to the butter mixture.
