Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in chopped parsley until well mixed.
  3. Cut cod fillets into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange coated cod bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking for doneness when they flake easily with a fork and are golden brown.
  6. While baking, prepare the dip by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried dill, and chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot cod bites with the creamy lemon herb dip, garnished with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
