Simple Cod

Directions

1. 1
   1. Preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C.
2. 2
   2. Line a casserole dish large enough to comfortably hold your fish with aluminum foil. Cut them if necessary to make them fit, but don't overlap them.
3. 3
   3. Place the fish fillet(s) flat side down on the foil.
4. 4
   4. Sprinkle the fish with kosher salt to your liking. I used two pinches of salt per pound of fish (4 pinches per kilogram).
5. 5
   5. Sprinkle the fish with coarse black pepper to your liking. I used three to four pinches of pepper per pound of fish (6 to 8 pinches per kilogram).
6. 6
   6. Quarter a lemon and squeeze out all the juice over the fish.
7. 7
   7. Put a pat of butter on each fillet. Don't worry about melting it; the oven will do that for you.
8. 8
   8. Bake for approximately 12 minutes per inch of thickness (5 minutes per centimetre of thickness). Check it when it has a couple of minutes to go. As with most fish, when it flakes under slight fork pressure, it's done.
