Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Whole30 Chile Lime Cod Fillets.
Step 1
Start by creating a vibrant spice blend that will elevate your cod fillets.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dried parsley, dried oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Stir these ingredients well until they’re fully combined, and you’ll have a flavorful mix ready to enhance your dish.
Step 4
Next, take your cod fillets and brush them with a tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they’re lightly coated.
Step 5
Generously rub the spice mixture over the fillets, making sure every inch is covered in that delicious seasoning.
Step 6
For the best flavor, cover the seasoned fillets and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or if you have the time, up to 12 hours.
Step 7
This allows the spices to really soak in and infuse the fish with amazing taste.
Step 8
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).
Step 9
Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and place your beautifully seasoned cod fillets on it.
Step 10
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 11
You’ll know it’s done when the cod flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque throughout.
Step 12
While the cod is baking, let’s whip up a delightful lime butter sauce.
Step 13
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee along with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 14
Once melted, add in the zest and juice of a fresh lime, swirling the pan gently to combine the flavors.
Step 15
When your cod is perfectly baked, serve it hot, drizzled with that luscious lime butter sauce.
Step 16
This dish not only looks stunning but also bursts with flavor, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.
Step 17
Enjoy every bite!.
