1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon salt

4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
Directions
- Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil.
- Add thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Place 1 fillet on 1 side of each piece of foil. Sprinkle thyme mixture evenly over fillets and top with butter.
- Fold the empty side of the foil over the cod. Fold up the edges of the foil and pinch together to create sealed packet. Transfer packets to a baking sheet.
