Baked Cod with Lemon Dill Sauce

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Step 2

Place cod in a pyrex, ceramic baking dish or foil/parchment paper lined baking sheet. Lightly season both sides of the cod with salt and fresh ground pepper. Leave the cod on the countertop while preparing your sauce.

Step 3

In a small sauce pan, on medium-low heat start to melt your butter. When it starts to melt add your olive oil.

Step 4

Once the butter is fully melted, whisk in flour. Whisk until it starts to bubble.

Step 5

Add lemon juice, zest, salt, dill and garlic powder to the butter flour mixture, Whisk briefly until all incorporated.

Step 6

Place smashed garlic segments dispersed evenly on cod. I like to press it into the fish, so it's slightly embedded within the fish. This will help protect it from burning and also flavor the fish.

Step 7

Pour and then lightly press the sauce onto the cod until evenly coated.

Step 8

Cook in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness, and then broil on high for 2 minutes. You know it's done when the fish easily flakes with slight pressure from a fork, and the garlic pieces are just slightly charred.

Step 9

Enjoy!
