For The Code For the Lemon-Herb Butter Sauce

For The Cod

1. Place a non-stick (or cast-iron) skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
2. While the pan is heating, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully place the cod fillets in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets and set them aside on a warm plate.

For The Lemon-Herb Butter Sauce:

1. Lower the heat of the pan to medium and remove any bits leftover from cooking the fish, if necessary.
2. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt.
3. Once the butter is fully melted, add the lemon juice and fresh herbs to the pan. Stir to combine.
4. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed.
5. Spoon the lemon-herb butter sauce over the cooked cod fillets.

To Serve

1. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs or a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
