Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cod (2 fillets)
- 2 tablespoons oil (olive or avocado), divided
- pinch salt + pepper
- 1 lemon, divided
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (regular or whole-grain)
- 1 tablespoon capers
Instructions
- Move an oven rack to about 4" away from the broiler. Preheat broiler to high.Brush cod fillets with half the oil, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add remaining oil to an oven-safe pan or casserole dish. Slide the pan into the oven.
- Cook cod for 8 minutes per 1" thickness, or until the fish is opaque and the edges are beginning to flake apart. (Thinner fillets of cod will cook faster than 8 minutes, so make sure to watch the cod closely.)Do not flip the fish halfway through cooking.
- While the cod cooks, cut the lemon in half. Juice one half of the lemon, and cut the other half into wedges or slices.Add the yogurt, mustard, capers, and lemon juice to a small bowl and whisk to blend. The sauce flavor and thickness will vary depending on the yogurt and mustard used. Taste the sauce. Add more mustard if desired, or more yogurt if the sauce seems too spicy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little juice from the caper jar.When the cod is done cooking, remove it from the oven and move the fish to plates. Serve immediately with sauce and the lemon wedges or slices.
