Equipment

Baking sheet
Oven
Small saucepan
Measuring spoons and cups
Brush for olive oil

Ingredients

For the Cod:

4 fillets cod 6 ounces each / 170 grams each
1 tbsp olive oil 15 ml
½ tsp garlic powder 1.5 grams
½ tsp paprika 1 gram
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Horseradish Sauce:

½ cup heavy cream 120 ml
2 tbsp prepared horseradish 30 ml
1 tbsp unsalted butter 14 grams
1 tsp Dijon mustard 5 grams
¼ tsp garlic powder 0.75 grams
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Cod: Lay the cod fillets on a baking sheet. Brush each fillet with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the fillets.
Bake the Cod: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
Prepare the Sauce: While the cod is baking, prepare the creamy horseradish sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, prepared horseradish, unsalted butter, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sauce is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Once the cod is ready, remove it from the oven. Plate each fillet and drizzle with the creamy horseradish sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure that the cod fillets are completely thawed if using frozen.

Adjust the amount of horseradish in the sauce to suit your preferred level of heat.

This dish pairs well with a side of steamed asparagus or a crisp green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.

Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and used as a dressing or dip for other dishes.
