Lemon Baked Cod – Easy Lemon Baked Fish Recipe

We love a simple and fresh lemon baked cod for an easy dinner that is also healthy, fast and delicious! This lemon cod bakes up in about 20 minutes and is simple enough to serve every week.

Cod is a wonderful tasting mild fish that even kids love as well. Topped with some crunchy Panko-style breadcrumbs and creamy butter, this dish is one of our cod fish favorites, and sure to be yours too.

You can also sprinkle fish lightly with paprika for a slightly sweet touch and to make it pretty.  Pretty fish is yummy.

Mix a small amount of Parmesan cheese with the Panko breadcrumbs to make a cheesy baked fish.

Make your own fresh & scrumptious tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise, finely chopped sweet pickles, a little dill, sugar, and a touch of lemon.  YUM!
