Cod With Lemon Butter Sauce

"Lemon gives all the brightness and lift necessary-tempered with a little honey and a few pats of butter."

"Dusting the cod with flour helps it achieve that golden brown color, while a finishing flurry of tarragon makes this speedy weeknight dish feel restaurant-worthy."

"If you skip the tiny roasted potatoes, serve with bread or rice; you'll want something to sop up every last drop of sauce."

"(If you're not a fan of tarragon, feel free to omit, or substitute with another tender herb like parsley, dill, or chives.)"

Lemon provides brightness and lift, tempered with honey and a few pats of butter to create a balanced, glossy sauce. Dusting cod with flour promotes a golden brown crust during quick pan-searing. A finishing flurry of tarragon adds an herbaceous lift that makes the dish feel restaurant-worthy. Serve alongside tiny roasted potatoes, or substitute with bread or rice to sop up every last drop of sauce. Omit tarragon or replace with parsley, dill, or chives if preferred. The method yields a speedy weeknight meal that delivers bright, rich flavors without using wine.
