Pan-Fried Cod in a Citrus Basil Butter Sauce (Page 3 ) | March 2, 2025

Serving Suggestions:
This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. For a complete, well-balanced meal, consider serving the cod with:

Steamed vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans. The freshness of the vegetables complements the zesty sauce beautifully.
Fluffy rice or couscous can soak up the citrus basil butter sauce, adding extra texture and flavor to every bite.
A crisp side salad with a light vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the butter sauce, while maintaining the citrusy theme.
Tips:
If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter to the sauce for an even silkier texture.
Ensure your pan is hot before adding the cod fillets to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
Zest your citrus fruits before juicing them for better control and easier preparation.
The dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the fish.
