Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 (4 ounce) fillets cod
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix in lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley flakes, and garlic. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir about 10 minutes, until thickened.
  3. Arrange cod fillets in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Cover with 1/2 the butter mixture, and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Cover with foil.
  4. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork. Pour the remaining butter mixture over the fish to serve.
