A delightful and easy-to-make baked cod recipe with a zesty lemon and herb crust.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Cut the cod fillets into serving-sized portions if needed.
Ensure the fillets are of similar size for even cooking.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
Use a microwave-safe bowl for convenience.
Mix the melted butter with the juice of one lemon.
Whisk thoroughly to blend the flavors.
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, white pepper, and paprika.
Sift the flour for a smoother mixture.
Dip each cod fillet into the butter mixture, then coat it evenly with the flour mixture.
Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Place the coated fillets in a greased baking dish.
Leave some space between the fillets for even cooking.
Pour any remaining butter mixture over the fillets and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
This step enhances the flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check for doneness by testing the thickest part of the fillet.
Serve the baked cod with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Pair with your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
