Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.

Cut the cod fillets into serving-size portions for easy handling.

In a saucepan or microwave, melt the butter. Then stir in the lemon juice for a zesty flavor.

In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper together.

Take each piece of cod and dip it in the lemon butter mixture, making sure it’s well coated.

Next, roll the buttery fish in the flour mixture on all sides to give it a nice crust.

Place the coated fillets in an ungreased baking dish and drizzle any leftover lemon butter over them.

Sprinkle a dash of paprika on top for extra flavor and color.

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Finally, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges for a pretty finish before serving.
