Herb Crusted Cod with Garlic Butter

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed

6 tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons roasted garlic, mashed into a paste

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes

¼ teaspoon salt

4  6 oz. Cod fillets

1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Brush a broiler pan with olive oil. Stir butter and garlic paste together in a bowl. Divide garlic mixture evenly between two bowls, reserving one bowl for serving. Stir garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt together in a bowl. Place tilapia fillets on prepared broiler pan; brush each fillet with garlic butter and sprinkle each with Italian seasoning mixture, reserving 1/2 the garlic butter in the bowl and 1/2 the Italian seasoning mixture. Broil fillets in the preheated oven for 2 minutes, brush again with garlic butter, and broil for 2 more minutes. Turn fillets over. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with remaining Italian seasoning mixture. Broil until tilapia fillets flake easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with reserved garlic butter and lemon juice. 4 Servings.
