1 1/2 pounds cod fillets
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
I loved this for the simplicity and flavor. We were out tarragon so I used lemon pepper seasoning in place of it and the pepper. I used raw sesame seeds which toasted perfectly in the broiler. This could possibly be my "go to" fish recipe.
i didnt think the tarragon was good here. it didnt fit the flavor profile and it isnt meant to be "broiled". i will try again omitting the tarragon as I feel the sesame seed/butter/lemon combo was good.

This was delicious and so easy! I used fresh tarragon instead of dried, which really added to the flavor. Will be making this one again!
I loved the taste of sesame seeds with the cod; will definitely have it again!
Did not turn out well broiling. The top was burned and the rest was undercooked after 10 min. What I would do next time is prepair the fish like the recipe says but bake it at 350 until white and flakes easily.
The lime & tarragon really brighten this fish up. It was quick & simple to prepare with ingredients already on hand. My husband is not a fish lover, but said he would eat this again.
Very good, Quick & Easy, Cooked just as prescribed + added a pinch of sea salt.
This was very boring. Edible, but boring. Won't be making this again.
