Lemon and Butter Baked Cod

I am fan of fish, but John is not. He has been traveling out of town lately for work, so that gives me an opportunity to cook fish. I am a big fan of light white fish - cod, mahi, halibut, etc. and this recipe can really use any light white fish so don't just limit yourself to cod if that is not a fish you love.

This recipe is super easy - just season your fish and bake for 15 minutes. You will then have a perfectly flaky delicious dish!
