Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Pour the lemon butter sauce over the cod fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce.
Ensure the cod is cooked through by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C).
