Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
-
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or rosemary
-
1/2 teaspoon finely ground pink salt, or to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
4 (6 ounce) cod filets
-
2 lemons, each cut into 8 thin slices
-
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
-
4 sprigs fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Place softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and thyme or rosemary on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut herbs and garlic into each other and the butter, cutting and mixing as you go. Add pink salt, black pepper, and paprika, and mix until well blended.
-
Pat cod filets dry. In a 12x18-inch casserole or baking pan, place each filet on top of 2 lemon slices. Evenly divide herb butter mixture among the filets; use a fork or offset spatula to spread herb butter over filets. Top each filet with 2 remaining lemon slices.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cod flakes easily with a fork, 13 to 15 minutes. See note.
-
To serve, drizzle each filet with extra virgin olive oil, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Cook’s Note
Be sure to monitor your filets. If your filets are less than 1/2-inch thick, check for doneness at 10 minutes. Thicker filets will take more time.
