Equipment

oven
baking pan
measuring spoons
small bowl

Ingredients

6 fillets cod about 4 oz each
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon paprika
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning
0.25 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and onion powder.
Brush the fillets with melted butter and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the fillets.
Place the fillets in the baking dish and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F when done.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and fresh herbs such as parsley.

Notes

For a crispier topping, sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs and shredded parmesan cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
