Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the perfect baking temperature for the cod fillets.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Arrange the cod fillets in a single layer on a medium baking sheet for even cooking.
Drizzle half of the prepared lemon butter mixture over the cod fillets, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Sprinkle with lemon pepper for extra flavor.
Cover the baking sheet with foil to lock in moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the foil and pour the remaining lemon butter mixture over the fillets to add a burst of flavor and ensure they are moist and delicious.
Enjoy this fantastic lemon butter fillet with your favorite sides for a delightful meal! 🍽️
