Lemon Pepper Cod

This is a delicious and healthy dinner that you can make in a matter of minutes.  Keep some frozen cod on-hand, and you won't even need a trip to the grocery store!  This recipe is aimed at simplicity, using ingredients you probably already have in your cabinets.

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
4 4-oz fresh or frozen cod fillets
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon pepper
2 tsp dried basil
1/4 large yellow onion, sliced

Preparation

  • Melt butter in a large skillet with lid over medium-high heat.  (Be careful not to burn.)
  • Arrange frozen (or fresh) cod on a plate.  Sprinkle with lemon juice, lemon pepper, and basil.
  • Add cod to pan, place onion slices on top of and around fish; cover.  Cook for 5-8 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes.
That's all there is to it!  Keep a few spare boxes of cous cous around, and a bag of salad, and you have a 10-minute dinner.

  1. Looks like a great recipe, Devon. I discovered your blog via Social Moms Working Moms interest group. Love your blog concept - I am constantly looking for new recipes to try at home for me, DH and my toddler. We love cod so I'll try this one out. Look forward to stopping by more often.

  2. This sounds delish...we are a tilapia family...always on the George Forman with a little lemon, salt and pepper...YUM!

    I have to try my hand at cod...does it have a strong "fishy" taste?

  3. This recipe would probably be great with tilapia! The cod probably is a bit more fishy - I like it because it tends to have a bit more oil in it naturally, but of course, that's part of what gives it that fishy taste!
