Lime Broiled Cod

The original recipe for this easy and fast way to prepare fish was written for catfish, but my husband is not fond of catfish at all so I used cod, which he loves. The lime and garlic give the fish a bit of a south-of-the-border flare so it combines well with the recipe for Salsa Green Beans that was posted on 7/2/2014. The gelatin salad is Cherry Salad Supreme; find this recipe posted on 7/3/2014. Blessings...

Recipe:

1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
3 to 4 6-ounce cod or catfish fillets

1. Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic powder; mix well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Place fillets in a shallow broiler-safe dish or on a broiler pan.
3. Brush each fillet with lime-butter sauce.
4. Broil for 4 minutes; remove from oven. Turn the fillets over and brush the second side; return to oven and broil for another 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Brush fillets with any remaining sauce before serving.

Yield: 3 to 4 servings
