Oven-Baked Lemon Pepper Cod Recipe

This recipe for Super Easy Oven-Baked Lemon Pepper Cod is the perfect dinner for a busy weeknight. The cod filets are seasoned with lemon pepper and topped with thinly sliced lemons, creating a burst of flavor in every bite. The fish is then wrapped in parchment paper and baked in the oven, creating a steaming effect that keeps the fish moist and flavorful.

To begin, preheat your oven to 375F. Next, thinly slice a lemon and remove the seeds. Line a casserole dish with parchment paper and place the cod filets inside. Drizzle melted butter over the fish and season with lemon pepper. Top the fish with the sliced lemons and then fold the parchment paper over the fish, crimping it to seal the edges and create steam.

Bake the fish in the oven for 5-15 minutes, depending on the size of the filets. For an added touch of flavor and texture, you can also broil the fish for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, which will char the lemons and crisp up the fish.

This recipe is simple, healthy, and delicious. Serve with your favorite side dish and enjoy the delicious taste of oven-baked lemon pepper cod.
