Crispy Baked Cod with Lemon Butter Sauce Ingredients: For the Cod: 1 pound cod fillets 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper For the Lemon Butter Sauce: 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Instructions: Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the Cod: In a shallow dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the cod fillets in the mixture to coat evenly. Bake the Cod: Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Serve: Serve the baked cod with the Lemon Butter Sauce drizzled over the top. Tips: You can use any type of white fish you like for this recipe. For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Lemon Butter Sauce. Serve the cod with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, potatoes, or a green salad.
