Sunshine Lemon Butter Cod

🌞 Sunshine Lemon Butter Cod (Serves 2)
Ingredients:
2 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels—this helps them crisp up nicely.

2. Sauté: Melt the butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great!). Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

3. Season & Bake: Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, nestled in the garlic butter. Pour the lemon juice over the cod. Sprinkle with lemon zest and half of the parsley.

4. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork (time will vary depending on thickness).

5. Serve: Remove from the oven, spoon the buttery lemon sauce over the fish, and sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
