This Slow Cooker Lemon Butter Cod is a recipe that takes me back to the simpler times of family gatherings in the heart of the Midwest. It’s a dish rooted in the rich tradition of Midwestern cooking, where fresh fish from the local lakes was a staple. This dish captures the essence of those days, combining the delicate flavors of cod with the bright zest of lemon and the comforting, creamy touch of butter. Perfect for a family dinner or a cozy evening in, this recipe is sure to bring warmth and nostalgia to your table.
This tender, flavorful cod pairs beautifully with a side of buttery mashed potatoes or a warm, crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce. For a splash of color and added freshness, consider a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette or some roasted seasonal vegetables. A glass of crisp white wine would also complement the lemony notes perfectly, making for a well-rounded, hearty meal.
