Steamed Cod with Lemon Butter Sauce

Here's a simple one that has endless possibilities in the pairing arena. I decided on some of my leftover White Bean Salad and fresh string beans. The salad is already citrus based and the green beans work really well with a drizzle of lemon butter. Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

Fish:

  • 2 6-ounce cod filets
  • 2 tsp Garlic Lover’s Blend pulverized (toasted garlic, salt, paprika, parsley)
  • Black pepper to taste – one twist on the grinder works for me
  • 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • Juice & zest from 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt

Preparation:

Juice and zest the lemon to be ready.

Pat filets dry, coat with EVOO and season fish on both sides. Steam for 4 minutes.

While fish is steaming, combine butter, salt, lemon & zest and warm in small pot. Add some sauce to the fish when steaming is done. Serve rest of sauce at the table.

Blessed be… and happy cooking!
