These Lemon Garlic Butter Cod Bowls are bright, buttery, and balanced. Flaky cod is pan-seared in lemon garlic butter and served over rice or quinoa with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts. A drizzle of extra lemon and fresh herbs makes this a feel-good bowl that’s full of flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cod:

  • 1 1/2 lbs cod fillets, cut into portions

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for light coating)

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For the Brussels Sprouts:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

  • Extra lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Roast the Brussels sprouts:

    • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

    • Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.

    • Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and crispy on the edges.

  2. Cook the cod:

    • Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust with flour if using.

    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

    • Add cod and cook 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until golden and flaky.

    • Squeeze lemon juice over fish, sprinkle with zest and parsley, and spoon garlic butter from the pan over the top.

  3. Assemble the bowls:

    • Add rice or quinoa to each bowl, top with roasted Brussels sprouts and cod fillets.

    • Drizzle with extra lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley or more butter sauce, if desired.

 

Notes

  • Cod can be swapped with halibut, tilapia, or salmon.

  • Add avocado or a soft-boiled egg for extra richness.

  • Make it low-carb by using cauliflower rice or greens as the base.
