Baked Cod
This recipe is from HEALTHY RECIPES BLOG . This moist and tender baked cod is topped with a lemony, buttery topping that doesn't overpower the delicate fish.
- Nonstick spray for the pan
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- 4 cod fillets 6 ounces each, 1 inch thick, fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk the butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the capers.
- Place the cod fillets in the baking dish. Pour the butter mixture on top. Use a brush to evenly distribute the thick sauce on top of the fillets. Sprinkle them with paprika.
- Bake uncovered until the fish is fully cooked ( internal temp 145(, opaque, and flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of your cod fillets and your oven, this should take about 15 minutes (25 minutes if using frozen fish). Serve immediately.
