Description
Garlic Butter Cod Strips with Sweet Chili Lime Sauce offer a delectable way to enjoy a healthy seafood dish without the fuss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cod fillets, cut into strips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. It’s important to keep the heat at a medium level to prevent the butter from burning. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet; sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden.
- After achieving that perfect garlic fragrance, season the cod strips with salt, pepper, and paprika for flavor. Place the seasoned cod strips in the skillet carefully, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Allow them to cook for approximately 3–4 minutes on each side.
- In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce with the fresh lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha if you prefer a little heat. Whisk the ingredients together until they’re thoroughly combined.
- Once your cod strips are cooked and your sauce is ready, it’s time for the best part! Drizzle the zesty sweet chili lime sauce over the cod strips, allowing a generous amount to enhance the flavor.
Notes
Ensure the cod is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
