LEMON BUTTER BAKED COD

If you're looking to incorporate more fish into your diet, add this baked cod to your menu. The batter is light and crisps up in the oven. Paprika adds a touch of color and flavor to the fish. Once baked, the cod is perfectly flaky. Just make sure to shake the excess flour off the cod before baking so the coating does not end up...

Baked Cod with Pesto & Garlic Lemon Butter by Noreen image

This is a very flavorful dish. Even the person who doesn't like fish will like this. I played around with some ingredient combinations to create this and we love it. It is buttery, lemony, and savory all in one. This will work with Cod, Haddock, or Pollock. Enjoy all!
