Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce cod fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 2 tablespoons Calabrian chili paste adjust to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. Once the butter is melted, stir in the Calabrian chili paste, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  6. Remove the sauce from heat and set aside.
  7. Once the cod is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the Calabrian chili butter sauce over the fillets.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
