Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F. While heating, mince the fresh garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley; set aside.
2. 2In a small bowl, combine the salted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper—stir until it forms a fairly smooth paste.
3. 3Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in a baking dish in a single layer. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
4. 4Cut half of the lemon into thin slices and arrange them over the cod; cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and set aside for serving.
5. 5Bake the cod at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (timing depends on fillet thickness).
6. 6Remove from the oven and spoon any pan juices over the fish. While still hot, divide the cod and pan juices evenly into 4 airtight containers.
7. 7Store the lemon wedges separately in a small container; include them with each serving for squeezing over the cod before eating.
