Savory Lemon Butter Cod Fillets 

Savory Lemon Butter Cod Fillets

Ingredients:

4 cod fillets 
Salt and pepper to taste 
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
2 tablespoons olive oil 
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 cup chicken broth 
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 
Lemon slices, for garnish 
Directions:

Prepare the Cod:

Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off any excess. 
Cook the Cod:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. 
Add the cod fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside. 
Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. 
Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. 
Combine and Heat:

Return the cod fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cod is heated through. 
Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
