Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, paprika, dill, and salt. Stir until well mixed to create a fragrant herb butter.
Spread 1-2 teaspoons of the herb butter in the bottom of a small baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Place the cod fillets in the baking dish and spread about 1 tablespoon of herb butter over each fillet. Arrange lemon slices around the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and is fully cooked through.
Enjoy the herb butter baked cod warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side of rice. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the cod just before serving for extra brightness.
