Garlic Butter Cod Strips with Cilantro Lime Sauce 🐟

These garlic butter cod strips are tender, flaky, and infused with rich aromas from butter, garlic, and warm spices. Lightly seasoned cod cooks quickly in a hot skillet, developing a delicate golden crust while staying moist inside. Paired with a bright and creamy cilantro lime sauce, the dish delivers a satisfying balance of richness and refreshing citrus-herb flavour.
