Maybe you associate rich butter with shellfish like lobster and crab, but there’s no better pair than fresh cod and butter.

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets (thawed if frozen), rinsed and patted dry

  • Sea salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 tbsp salted grass-fed butter, divided

  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs, divided

  • 4 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Season the cod fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Lay out four pieces of aluminum foil, each about three times the size of a fillet. Place a fillet in the center of each piece of foil. Divide the butter, thyme, and lemon juice among the four fillets. Fold over the sides of each foil sheet to form a pouch, sealing the fillet inside. Place the four foil pouches on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Open the pouches carefully to allow the steam to escape, and serve hot.

Notes

  • COOKING TIP: It’s better to leave the fish in the oven longer than to take it out too early, open the pouches, and find the fish is not cooked through. Marinating longer in the butter and lemon only adds to the flavor.
  • MAKE IT PALEO: Use ghee instead of butter.
