Every week when I design menu’s I try to pick 1 or 2 things that I have never made before… and in this case never even tried! When I found this recipe for Baked Cod with a Lemon Butter sauce it just looked too good to pass up. 
Here is what you need:
- 1 lb of cod fillets
-1/2 cup butter – melted
-4 tbsp lemon juice
-1/4 cup all purpose flour
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp white pepper
-paprika for dusting
Mix the melted butter and lemon juice together in a shallow bowl. In another bowl combine the flour, salt and pepper. Dip each fillet into the butter mixture and then coat the fish with flour. Place all the fillets into a baking dish and pour the remaining butter over the top. Sprinkle each fillet with paprika – use as must or little as you prefer.
Cook the fish until it becomes flaky – usually 25-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Sprinkle some parsley on top and serve with lemon wedges.
Doesn’t that look yummy? Even better is that it is only about 230 calories (according to my little food calculator)! Everyone loved this dish so it will be reappearing in the near future! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.
