Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.

  2. 02

    In a small bowl, whisk the butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the capers.

  3. 03

    Place the cod fillets in the baking dish. Pour the butter mixture on top. Use a brush to evenly coat the fillets with the thick sauce. Sprinkle them with paprika.

  4. 04

    Bake uncovered until the fish is fully cooked, opaque, and flakes easily with a fork. Its internal temperature should be 145°F. For 1-inch-thick fillets, this should take about 15 minutes (25 minutes if using frozen fish). If your fillets are thinner or your oven runs slightly hot, the baking time could be shorter. Serve immediately.
