Keto Basil Butter Cod
I love meals you can sit and forget because it allows me to focus on other parts of the meal and is hard to ruin. I use frozen fish, if you do this be sure they are fully thawed which is easy to do. I simply place them in a bowl of cool water and if I am in a hurry I let the faucet water drip into the bowl to keep the water moving and helps thaw the fish faster. In the meantime, I melt salted butter, take it off the heat and add fresh chopped basil to the mix and pour it over the fish and bake.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 425 F. If using frozen cod that is presealed, place cod in a cold water in a large bowl and let water trickle on the cod until completely thawed.
Step 2
In the meantime, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and add the basil, salt, pepper and vinegar.
Step 3
Place fish in an oven safe baking dish and pour butter on top.
Step 4
Bake for 15-17 minutes until the fish reaches 145 F. Serve immediately!
