Sometimes I play a game with myself to see how many veggies I can get into one dish. It’s a perfect game to play with this delicious and easy baked cod recipe. I got the original recipe from a friend, tweaked it a bit for my family’s tastes, and the result is melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness!

Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp grass fed butter (room temperature)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped basil
- 16 oz. cod (four 4 oz filets)
- 2 lemons
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Make a paste of the fats, spices, herbs, and about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Coat each piece of fish with the butter/herb mixture.
- Top with remaining sliced lemon.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until fish is flaky and done. Serve with more lemon juice, if desired!
Serve with roasted vegetables or a salad! Be sure to spoon the melted seasonings and butter all over your plate! I added a touch of lemon-parsley quinoa and it was delicious.
Adjust the recipe according to how much cod you have or how many family members. With fish, I typically err on the side of more seasoning, but do what your tastebuds desire!
