Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour 4 Tbsp of the melted butter into a 2-qt casserole dish and set aside.
Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and place into casserole dish on top of melted butter. In a small bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, lemon zest and parsley then drizzle in remaining 2 Tbsp of melted butter. Toss with a fork until breadcrumbs are evenly coated in butter then divide crumb mixture evenly over the top of the cod filets.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until cod is cooked through and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
Remove from oven and transfer fish to serving platter. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the butter remaining in the baking dish and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle butter sauce over fish filets and serve immediately.

Cod is one of the most affordable fish you’ll find in the market!
