Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
Pat the black cod dry with paper towel and place skin-side down on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Brush or spoon the mixture generously over the fish.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: broil for the final 1 minute for a light golden finish.
Garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
