Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Arrange the cod fillets in a greased baking dish, drizzle lemon juice, and sprinkle Old Bay seasoning generously.
  4. Drizzle the prepared garlic butter mixture over the seasoned cod fillets to ensure maximum flavor.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Let it rest for about 3-5 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Serve the cod on a platter, drizzling any remaining garlic butter and garnishing with parsley and lemon wedges.
