Easy Lemon Butter Cod Recipe
Growing up in Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes, I have eaten my fair share of fish! After marrying Bruce, my consumption of seafood dwindled a bit, as he’s not as keen on it as I am. However, he will go for a good cooked fish dish & this one hits home. Cod is unique in the fact that it has such a delicate, subtle flavor, and can really take on any ingredient it’s paired with. This recipe has very minimal ingredients, but is packed with bold flavor! You really can’t go wrong with lemon, fresh herbs, and of course, butter! Try pairing this recipe with your favorite side, such as potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable! I hope you enjoy!

Herbed Golden Potatoes with Fennel

Golden potatoes grown with regenerative farming practices are cooked alongside fragrant fennel to create a bright, comforting side dish.

Fresh lemon juice adds a lively citrus note that balances the sweetness of the fennel and the buttery potatoes. Finished with salt, cracked pepper, and a lot of fresh parsley, this simple dish highlights wholesome ingredients and the vibrant flavor of regeneratively grown produce.

Mustard And Dill Roasted Potatoes

Roasted Regenerative Purple Potatoes feature small, regeneratively grown purple potatoes roasted until perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. Their rich color and naturally earthy flavor shine when simply seasoned and roasted to golden perfection. Served alongside a creamy Dijon mustard dill sauce, the dish balances crispy texture with a smooth, tangy, herb-forward finish. Made with potatoes grown using regenerative farming practices that support healthy soil and biodiversity, this simple yet vibrant side brings both bold flavor and thoughtful sourcing to the table.

Oven Roasted Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

These oven-roasted crispy Parmesan Potatoes are made by slicing and lightly scoring regeneratively grown potatoes so they roast up extra crispy while staying soft and fluffy inside. The potatoes are coated with rich grass-fed butter, garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese, then roasted until golden brown with crispy edges and a savory, cheesy crust. Using regeneratively grown potatoes and grass-fed butter highlights ingredients raised with soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable farming in mind—creating a simple, comforting dish that’s both flavorful and thoughtfully sourced!
