Cilantro Lime Buttered Cod

As I understand it, there appears to be two schools of thought when it comes to cilantro – you LOVE it, or you HATE it.

How is that possible??

Me personally, cilantro everything. CILANTRO EVERYTHING.  I can’t get enough. I sprinkle it on salads and I live for Mexican dishes with heaping piles of pico de gallo.

I’m constantly searching for cilantro related dishes to make. Now, to be fair, this is partially due to the fact that cilantro comes in a GIANT bunch, and you need like 1/8 of it for a meal. So half the time I’m also just trying to not throw out cilantro gone bad.

This cilantro lime buttered cod is SO easy to make, and you can substitute tilapia or swai, both easy, bland fish. Cod was on sale, so I nabbed it!

This dinner was so light and fresh and buttery… it hit all my check marks for deliciousness! I would love to know if you are a cilantro lover or hater! (If hater, clearly, we cannot be friends. But best wishes in your life!) Ha! Also, if you ARE a cilantro lover, be sure to share my cilantro lime buttered cod with your friends!
