How to Make Lemon Baked Cod
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If cod fillets are large, cut into serving pieces (approximately 4-6 ounces each).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
- Dip each cod fillet into the butter-lemon mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Dredge the butter-coated fillets in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated cod fillets in an ungreased 8x8x2 inch square baking dish.
- Pour any remaining butter-lemon mixture over the fish.
- Sprinkle generously with 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and lemon slices (optional) before serving.
