Cod is a white, mild flavored fish that is an excellent low-calorie source of protein with a variety of important nutrients. This is a quick and easy, yet flavorful, dish that you’re going to enjoy. The lemon peel you sprinkle on at the end really makes it pop with flavor. I used a fresh lemon, so I used the zest instead of the dry lemon peel. Enjoy!
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning
4 cod fillets (6-oz. each)
2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow bowl, mix lemon juice and butter. In a separate shallow bowl, mix flour and seasonings. Dip fillets in lemon juice mixture, then in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.
Place in a 13×9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Mix parsley and lemon peel; sprinkle over fish.
