Atlantic Cod with Garlic-Herb Butter
Atlantic Cod with Garlic-Herb Butter is a seafood dish featuring fresh Atlantic cod fillets cooked with a flavorful garlic-herb butter sauce. The cod is typically pan-seared or baked until tender and flaky, then drizzled with a rich butter sauce infused with minced garlic, fresh herbs like parsley, thyme and basil.
Ingredients
Garlic Herb Butter Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1½ tablespoon garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
- ¼ tablespoon sea salt
Remaining Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 4- oz. Atlantic cod fillets
- Sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic-herb butter by combining all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the garlic, herbs, and salt are evenly distributed throughout the softened butter.
- Transfer the butter mixture to the center of a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a log. Wrap tightly and place inside the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to become firm.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat cod filets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Add filets to hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they become golden brown. Reduce heat to medium and carefully flip each fillet. Top each filet with an equal amount of herb butter and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. While cooking, spoon the herb butter back over the filets as it melts.
- Remove from heat and transfer fillets to individual serving plates. Drizzle with melted herb butter and garnish with some fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately with some oven-roasted asparagus tossed with remaining herb butter from skillet or your choice of sides. Enjoy!
