Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, chives, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Wrap the Cod: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Take each cod fillet and wrap it with two slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
- Bake the Cod: Place the wrapped cod on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cod is cooked through.
- Add Herb Butter: During the last 5 minutes of baking, spoon the prepared herb butter over the cod to allow it to melt and infuse the dish with flavor.
- Serve: Remove the toothpicks, if used, and serve the Bacon-Wrapped Cod with Herb Butter immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
