- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish optional
- ¼ lemon, cut into wedges optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Add the butter and garlic to a small baking dish. Place the dish in the oven during preheating, until the butter is melted. Remove the dish from the oven.
- Using a paper towel, pat cod fillets dry. Place cod in the baking dish. Using tongs, turn fillets to coat them in butter mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Season with salt and pepper.

- Serve the cod garnished with parsley and lemon wedges, if using.
Notes
To thaw frozen cod, place in the refrigerator overnight. If using the same day, place the cod in a sink under cold running water.
