Description
Baked Cod with Lemon-Dill Sauce is a delightful and healthy seafood dish that’s quick and easy to prepare. Tender, flaky cod fillets are baked to perfection and served with a creamy, tangy lemon-dill sauce for a restaurant-quality meal you can enjoy at home.
Ingredients
– 4 cod fillets (about 1 lb total)
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 lemon, juiced and zested
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the melted butter.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, heavy cream, dill, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake the cod for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
5. Drizzle the lemon-dill sauce over the baked cod and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lower-calorie option, use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream. You can also add a sprinkle of panko breadcrumbs or parmesan cheese to the top of the cod before baking for extra flavor and texture.
