This baked cod is the definition of clean, honest cooking. With a bright, zesty butter sauce and fresh herbs, it brings a restaurant-quality meal to your table in under 20 minutes.
This dish features tender, flaky cod fillets baked to perfection in a vibrant lemon-herb butter sauce. It is a high-protein, low-effort dinner that balances rich flavor with light, nourishing ingredients.
To keep the fish moist, spoon the pan juices over the fillets halfway through the baking process. This infuses every layer with that bright, citrus flavor.
