Lemon Pepper Cod Recipe

I fixed this for a husband who LOVES fish and two 8-year old picky eaters. There were no leftovers! I served it with yellow rice and mixed vegetables. The whole meal was done and on the table in less than 30 minutes. At last, a great fish dish that does not require dredging and deep frying fish. I just wish I could give it more than a five card rating!

5 for ease, 1 for (lack of) flavor. Definitely add SALT.

A tasty, basic recipe that doesn’t cover up cod’s naturallysweet, buttery flavor. It is lacking salt though, so I would definitely add a sprinkle, and I found the cook time to be too long for the thickness of my cod pieces (about ¾” thick). You could also get away with using less oil than called for. I would also add the lemon juice after searing, otherwise it tends to 'steam' the first and makes it difficult to get a good sear. I served this with roasted veggies and rice.

This recipe was good and easy. I added white wine to deglaze the pan and before adding any lemon juice. To thicken the resulting sauce I added about 1 tbsp of butter and added dried parsley. Served it with Peas and Pancetta from this site and added a spoon or two of the sauce on top. It was very good and satisfying dinner. I will make it again with my addition.

Love this simple recipe! I actually used flounder. Only difference is I added pepper to a tbs of flour, placed seasoned flour in plastic bag and then shook the flounder to lightly coat the fish. Then, placed 1 tbs of butter in skillet, melted it, added fish and squeezed the lemon on top. OOH! SO GOOD! Someone mentioned adding garlic. I might try that next.

This recipe looked perfect. Unfortunately I was in a hurry by the time I goofed around and read awhile and by that time I needed to eat right away! I preheated the oven to 375° F. Put cod (any fish will do) in pan that had been generously sprayed with regular Pam, seasoned fish with salt, pepper and lemon pepper then sprayed with Butter Pam and put in oven. When fish looked slightly brown on top, removed it, flipped fish and repeated seasoning. Put back in the oven and when the cod smelled extra good I took it out and ate nearly 5 ounces right out of the pan before I even got a side dish going! I’ll do this again when I get in a pinch and will definitely try the above recipe too!

This was really good. I decided to use butter instead of veggie oil and I didn't have lemon pepper so I just used pepper and pink salt.

The perfect simple supper with the ultimate farmer seasoning, pepper. Quick & easy. Make a helping of rice for a bed. Avacodo oil let me use my cast iron skillet to achieve a smidge of blackening.

Simple simple simple, tasty tasty TASTY! Be careful to not over salt the fish, just a dash. And don't cook it too long. Really, 4 minutes a side, as long as you're on medium high, and it's good. If you want to be sure, either cover it when you turn it over, so it steams, or check w a thermometer.

I rubbed the fish with EVOO and then coated with lemon pepper seasoning. Was not bland at all this way. Oh, and I baked it - 400 for 10 mins. Kids loved it (of course they though it was chicken)!

The cod was very flavorful with the juice of a whole lemon and pepper. Cooked it for 4 minutes on each side in olive oil and added capers in the pan right before serving.

Tasty and simple to make. Like others suggested, add some salt.

This was great, and easy to make. I used lemon pepper to season, and cooked it in olive oil. Definitely a "Make it again meal"

I made this following the recipe to a T. This was very disappointing as it lacked flavor. The only thing that was good about it was that was easy and quick, then again so is a boiled hot dog.

So flavorful and satisfying.

Husband said he likes cod better this way than in the oven. Easy, healthy, and he likes it equals 5+stars! Thanks!

Simple and straight forward, very easy and good.

I was looking for a low fat recipe and this is it. Tasty but plain. I paired it with homemade tartar sauce and it was yummy.

it was good! Tho' hubby and I both felt it could use just a tad more flavor. Next time I will try with garlic simmering in the oil and maybe add a little Old Bay Seasoning... being careful NOT to overpower the buttery flavor of the Cod. Thanks for the good, easy recipe.

Made me so happy, thank you!
