Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the Icelandic cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Season the Fish

    Drizzle the garlic butter over the cod fillets. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the fish.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cod

    Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the cod from the oven, garnish with lemon slices, and serve with tartar sauce on the side.
