Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cod fillets
  • 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 lemons, juiced and zested
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish.
  2. Place the sliced potatoes and onions in an even layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, then place them on top of the potatoes and onions.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
  5. Pour the lemon butter mixture evenly over the cod fillets.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
  8. Serve your Lemon Butter Baked Cod Fillets hot, garnished with extra fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired.

Notes

Use fresh cod fillets for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to adjust the lemon butter sauce to your taste by adding more or less lemon juice and zest. To save time on slicing, use a mandoline slicer for the potatoes and onions. Don’t overcook the cod; it should be tender and flaky. Serve with a simple side salad and enjoy!
