Lemon Parsley Baked Cod

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, mix lemon juice and butter. In a separate shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. Dip fillets (not too cold or butter will harden) in lemon juice mixture, then in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.
