makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless cod fillets (or other mild white fish)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (reserve the lemon wedges)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion powder

  • 1/8 teaspoon fine salt

  • optional: cherry tomatoes and fresh Italian flat leaf parsley for garnish

Directions

• • Preheat oven to 400F, place rack in center position, and spray a ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray.

  • Place fish fillets in the baking dish in a single layer.

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, granulated onion, and salt; mix well and pour over fish.

  • If you like, toss the leftover squeezed lemon rinds and a handful of small cherry tomatoes into the dish.

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until fish reaches 145F or is completely opaque and flakes easily with a fork (about 10 minutes per inch of thickness).

  • Remove fish from oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
