- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

- Pat cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Press the Parmesan mixture onto each fillet, coating them evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cod flakes easily with a fork.

- Drizzle garlic butter over the baked cod fillets and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
