This Garlic and Herb butter sauce can be used with any fresh fish, but we especially love it with cod. Also, we’ve noted the the lemon zest garnish is optional, but we highly recommend it. The lemon will bring up the flavors of the butter-herb sauce with each bite you take. Enjoy!

Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Cook rice, as directed.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  3. Melt the butter in small saucepan and stir in the garlic, onion powder, basil and oregano. Simmer on low for 2 to 3 minutes to allow flavors and fragrances to mingle.
