Prepare a baking dish large enough for all cod fillets to sit in a single layer. Line the dish with parchment paper. Working with one fillet at a time, dip it into the melted butter and flip to coat all sides, then into the parmesan mixture to coat all sides, and then place it onto the lined baking dish.
