Lemon-Parsley Baked Cod
After trying a few baked cod recipes, this was the first fish recipe that got two thumbs up from my picky meat-only eaters. The tangy lemon gives the cod fish some oomph. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Delicious! Used olive oil instead of butter on thick cod loins. Took reviewers' suggestions to use panko and smoked paprika. I'm glad I did.
Complete mush. Never again.
Flavor of this fish recipe was great. I see what the other reviewers meant about the flour. It became a bit pasty when dipping the fish in. It does not appear to be a breaded, crunchy topping, just a means to have the flavor coat the fish, which is just fine with me. I will be making this one again.
Such a tasty and easy recipe! Had thyme in the cupboard so used that instead of parsley and it worked really well!
This had great flavors but the lemon butter coating didn’t end up crisping in any way, rather, it was more like a paste of which my husband and I weren’t fans. Enjoyed for the most part but probably won’t make again.
Made this for the first time and I was very impressed. Easy to make and so delicious!
Oustanding! Served with broiled asparagus and a watercress salad. Substituted seasoned breadcrumbs for flour and cooked the last four minutes under broiler to brown the breadcrumbs.
I made this for my dinner and it was excellent I must try this again
We loved this! Nice lemony flavor. I sprinkled a little additional smoked paprika on top. The fish baked beautifully and the butter and flour made a yummy sauce. I mistakenly added the lemon peel and parsley to the flour mixture, but it still came out great. Don't forget to drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the fish before baking. It makes the dish!Volunteer Field Editor
Good lemon flavor. I would prefer it to be crispier and would try Panko crumbs next time.
