Buttered Cod

You only need a single pan to whip up this deliciously buttery cod. Infused with garlic and lemon, it’s ready in a mere 16 minutes! Plus, it’s gluten-free, keto-friendly, low-carb, and packed with protein.

  • Total Time: 16 mins
  • Yield: 4 plates 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¾ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Freshly chopped parsley
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Season the cod pieces with this spice blend.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat, flip the cod gently, and add the remaining butter. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the butter to fully melt and the fish to cook through—be careful not to overcook to avoid the cod breaking apart.
  5. Finish by drizzling the fish with fresh lemon juice and garnishing with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
