Cod has always been one of my favorite types of fish to cook. It’s mild, flaky, and incredibly versatile, making it the perfect base for all kinds of flavors. One of the best ways to enjoy it is pan-fried with a simple lemon butter sauce. It’s light, fresh, and just the right balance of buttery richness and citrusy tang.The first time I made this dish, I was looking for something quick and easy but still full of flavor. I had a couple of cod fillets in the fridge and a lemon sitting on the counter, so I decided to experiment. With just a few pantry staples—butter, garlic, and a little flour for crispiness—I created a dish that tasted like something straight from a fancy seafood restaurant.Now, this pan-fried cod with lemon butter sauce is one of my go-to meals when I want something light yet satisfying. It pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad, and the best part? It’s ready in under 20 minutes.If you love fresh, simple flavors that come together effortlessly, this recipe is for you.
