Lemon Herb Crusted Cod with Lemon Butter Sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 4-ounce cod filets
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper, divided
• 11 tablespoons butter, divided
• 5 tablespoons Concord Foods Lemon Juice from Concentrate

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place cod filets on baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a small bowl combine bread crumbs, chives, dill, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix well.
• Melt three tablespoons butter in the microwave. Add melted butter to breadcrumbs along with 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Mix until breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
• Divide breadcrumbs evenly over fish filets, patting gently to help adhere but not compressing too firmly. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant read thermometer. Cool 3 minutes before serving.
• While fish bakes prepare butter sauce:
• Add reserved butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a small saucepan. Heat mixture over medium-low heat until mixture comes to a simmer. Whisk occasionally while mixture reduces by 1/3, about 8 minutes.
• Serve fish with a drizzle of lemon butter over top, and serve extra on the side.
