Baked Cod

Ingredients

• Salt

  table

  ¼ tsp or 2g

• Paprika

  ¼ tbsp or 2g

• Black pepper

  ground

  1 dash or 0.1g

• Cayenne pepper

  1 pinch or 0.4g

• Atlantic cod

  raw

  4 oz or 113g

• Butter

  unsalted

  1 tbsp or 14g

• Tomatoes

  red, raw

  2 Italian tomato or 124g

• Lemon

  raw, with peel

  ½ fruit without seeds or 54g

• Parmesan cheese

  grated

  2 tbsp or 10g

Directions

1. Combine the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the fish into 4 equal portions (2 per serving), and arrange the fillets in a 9x13-inch baking dish or pan.
3. Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. Brush the top of each fillet with butter, drizzle a little lemon juice on the fish, then sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the top of each fillet.
4. Arrange 2 to 3 tomato slices over the top of each fillet.
5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each tomato slice. It's okay for some of the cheese to fall on the fish.
6. Bake the fish, uncovered, for 8 minutes, then turn the oven to a high broil and continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese on the tomatoes begins to brown. Serve two pieces of fish per serving with rice on the side, if desired.
