• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 medium limes, zested and juiced
• 2 (5 ounce) cod fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine paprika, parsley, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl and mix well. Brush cod fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil; rub with the spice mixture. Use all of the spice mixture and make sure they are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place cod on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Cook in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily and is opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, melt ghee with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add lime zest and juice and swirl the pan to mix. Serve the cod topped with lime butter.
