The Best Baked Cod

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. Get the oven heating at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Grab a small bowl and stir the lemon juice into the melted butter, then add the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.
  3. Set the cod fillets in a baking dish and pour the olive oil across them. Spoon the lemon-butter mixture over the fillets so the tops are covered.
  4. Bake the fish in the hot oven for 15 minutes, or until it separates easily when you test it with a fork. Bring it to the table warm with the sides you like.
