Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds of fresh cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of tangy lemon juice
- A teaspoon of fragrant dried tarragon
- A pinch of zesty ground black pepper
- A tablespoon of crunchy sesame seeds
Step 1
Get ready to work some oven magic by preheating the broiler and positioning the rack just 6 inches from the fiery heat. To make cleanup a breeze, lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the broiler pan.
Step 2
Now, it's time to get artsy with your cod fillets! Lay them out on the foil and give them a nice buttery brush. Sprinkle on a medley of flavors with zesty lemon juice, fragrant tarragon, and a hint of black pepper. For a crunchy twist, shower them with sesame seeds.
Step 3
Pop the pan into the preheated broiler and let the fish sizzle away until it transforms into a pearly white masterpiece. This should take around 10 minutes, and you'll know it's ready when the flesh is opaque and easily flakes apart.
