Baked Blackened Cod

Step 1

See notes before proceeding with recipe. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Step 2

Cut lemons into slices then arrange on a baking sheet. The fish shouldn’t stick but if the pan you’re using is prone to sticking, spray lightly with cooking spray before adding lemons.

Step 3

Melt butter in a pie plate or other shallow dish; set aside.

Step 4

Add blackening seasoning to a separate, similar size dish; set aside.

Step 5

Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Working one at a time, dip fillets in butter, coating both sides, then allow excess butter to drip off each piece.

Step 6

Gently lay the fish in the dish with the blackening seasoning to coat one side of the fish with seasoning.

Step 7

Place the cod, seasoned side up, in the pan on top of the lemon slices.

Step 8

Repeat until all pieces of cod are seasoned and arranged evenly in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
