📝 Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 2 tsp dried dill

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Melt butter in a pan on medium to high heat. Season the cod fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper, plus a drizzle of lemon juice, dill and parsley on both sides.
2. 2Pan fry the cod in the butter until it has cooked through. Cod cooks quickly, and is done when it flakes at the touch of a fork. This takes 1-3 minutes on both sides, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
3. 3While cooking, use a spoon to baste the cod with the melted butter. This helps keep the fish juicy.
