Citrus Roasted Cod with Tarragon Brown Butter and Honey

Fish is well suited to most methods of cooking, especially baking. However, baking fish has the potential to dry it out, and we want to maintain that perfect, buttery texture. Here are a few things home cooks can do to keep their baked seafood dishes juicy and delicious.First, be sure to brush the fish with oil and season to taste. If you’re baking a thicker piece of lean, flaky white fish, such as cod or halibut, a great way to achieve extra flavor and moisture is to add a bit of liquid (about ¼ cup), such as wine or seafood stock, to the baking dish.For this recipe, I also layer citrus slices on top of the fish. The citrus juices provide extra moisture and additional flavor, and it makes a pretty presentation. Once the fish is done, it’s finished with a silky honey tarragon brown butter.The bonus to all these steps for maintaining texture is that they are simple yet pack tons of flavor, making this a lovely weeknight meal or Sunday dinner.
