Ingredients
- 4 Cod Loins or Cod Filets
- 1 Lemon (read note!)
- 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced) (read note!)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper (I highly recommend using this seasoning- amazon link)
- 1/2 teaspoon Dill Weed (dried) (read note!)
- Optional: Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon until you have 1 tablespoon of juice. Place the remaining lemon half, cut into slices, in the bottom of a casserole dish. You can also slice a whole lemon.
- Whisk together the butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and garlic.
- Pat the cod fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle it with lemon pepper and dill weed. Place it over the lemon slices.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the cod. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until opaque – the fish will flake easily.
Notes
Note: While lemon is not typically part of the carnivore diet, in my opinion, using it occasionally to enhance the flavor of carnivore-friendly dishes, such as this cod fish, is perfectly acceptable. Same goes for dill weed and garlic.
