Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking dish with a little bit of oil or cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic.
Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice into the butter-garlic mixture.
Pat the cod fillets dry, then place them in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the cod fillets evenly.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve with lemon wedges and additional parsley for garnish if desired.
