Lemons and butter have a way of giving cod a delightful flavor that even the pickiest eater can’t resist. This Lemon Butter Baked Cod recipe is a testament to simplicity, showcasing how a few ingredients can elevate a humble piece of fish into a meal that brings the family together. Perfect for a midweek dinner or a special weekend meal, it’s a go-to in my kitchen for its ease and the clean, fresh taste it delivers.

This Lemon Butter Baked Cod pairs wonderfully with a range of sides that can complement its light and buttery flavor. I love serving it with steamed green beans or a crisp garden salad to bring some freshness into the meal. To make it more hearty, you can pair it with garlic mashed potatoes or a simple pasta tossed with olive oil and parmesan. For a truly comforting meal, serving it alongside some homemade dinner rolls is a must to mop up all that delicious lemon butter sauce.
