This was pretty darn good and super easy, took about 30-40 minutes and I was not working in the kitchen the whole time. I started with the recipe for the butter sauce here, but found it too salty since I was already using salted butter. I also did not have any parsley so I used Bragg seasoning which is great for just about anything.
1lb or 3 to 4 Cod fillets (got these from WallyMart and they were great)
¼ Cup salted butter, softened in the microwave
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (I used just a pinch less than a full Tablespoon)
1 Tablespoon Bragg Seasoning
½ teaspoon dried granulated garlic (I would double that if using fresh garlic)
¼ teaspoon salt (adjust down if you are limiting salt and it will still be fine)
¼ teaspoon pepper (I used 4-6 grinds from my pepper mill but adjust for preference)
I also used 2 large table crackers (used these Gluten Free crackers) and crushed them with a tablespoon in a bowl to make the topping. Just use as many as it would take to about cover the fillets.
I first thawed the fillets which were frozen. While I was waiting for that to happen I made some yellow rice in the instant pot and rinsed some green beans.
When the Cod seemed about thawed (it was squishy and still a bit frozen), I heated the 1/4 cup of butter in a coffee mug for 30 seconds the microwave. Then added the rest of the seasonings (except for the salt) in the mug and stirred them up and gave it a taste before adding the salt. Since the butter I used was salted it did not need much so adjust the salt accordingly.
Then I took some foil and folded up the edges to catch the butter and coated it with a couple of spoonfuls of the butter sauce and put the fillets on top of that. The rest of the butter sauce went on top of the fillets followed by the cracker crumbs. Then it was cooked for about 15-20 minutes at 400°F and I checked that the internal temp was 145°F before taking them out.
While the fish was cooking, the rice was also going, and about 5-10 minutes before the fish was done I heated the green beans in the microwave with some butter (about 2 Tbsp) and sprinkled some granulated garlic, onion powder, Bragg Sprinkle and a dash or two of salt on it. Everything was done about the same time and it took about 30 to 40 minutes total
