The entire family loved every bite of this dish. Next time, I’ll double the batch

After a long day at the office, do you ever simply want to eat something that makes you feel at ease? I made this beautiful golden-seared fish with a herb butter sauce just like that. With a flawless sear and a butter sauce that tastes like you’ve labored for hours, this staple—cod, which I like for its mild flavor and flaky texture—becomes downright exquisite. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just want to spice up your weekday meals, this dish is sure to become a favorite. This fish is not only tasty, but also packed with protein and healthful omega-3 fatty acids. Effortless and fulfilling—it’s a win-win!

Proper accompaniments, such as seasoned quinoa or fluffy mashed potatoes, bring out the most in this buttery, herb butter sauce and golden-seared fish. As a side dish, I like it with a fresh green salad or steamed asparagus or green beans for a balanced and refreshing meal. Whenever I’m in the mood for something decadent, I love to dip crusty bread in the sauce.
