After one bite, my neighbor rushed over to find out the recipe

There’s something so delightful about a simple, low-carb lemon butter baked cod. This dish brings a touch of elegance to your dinner table but is easy enough to make on a weeknight. Cod is a mild-flavored fish that’s perfect for introducing to younger children or picky eaters who might not yet appreciate stronger fish varieties. The lemon and butter combination is a classic that adds brightness and richness, making it a surefire hit with the whole family.
This lemon butter baked cod is wonderfully versatile. Pair it with a side of roasted asparagus or steamed broccoli to keep things low-carb and healthy. Mashed cauliflower can mimic those familiar mashed potatoes but with fewer carbs. And for a touch of color and freshness, a simple mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette works beautifully.
