Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Melt about 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Place cod fillets in a lightly greased baking dish, ensuring they lay flat with space between each piece. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes until the cod easily flakes apart and is opaque.
Remove from oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
