Lemon-Butter Baked Cod

I haven't shared a cod recipe yet so I'm
starting with a favorite, very easy, and yummy 
one. Anything covered with lemon and butter 
is already going to be delicious. 

This is such a simple little oven fish dinner. 

It's another quick one for your menu rotation.

  Cod is a very mild firm white fish with large 

flakes. It has just a hint of a "lobster" quality. 

 I use my ever-handy pie dishes; one with the 

butter-lemon mixture and another with the 

flour and seasonings. 

 Coat the fish pieces in the melted butter.

 Then coat with the flour. 

 Place in a pan and drizzle on the remaining 

butter mixture. Sprinkle with a bit of paprika. 

 Bake at 350º for about 12-15 minutes.

 It's done when golden and just begins to flake.

 Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Serve with lemon wedges.
