Lemon Dill Sesame Crusted Cod

Lemon Dill Sesame Crusted Cod is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with fresh cod fillets that are coated in a flavorful mixture of lemon, dill, and sesame seeds. The result is a crispy and flavorful crust that perfectly complements the tender and flaky cod.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 cod fillets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix together the lemon juice and chopped dill. In a third shallow dish, place the sesame seeds.
Dip each cod fillet into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the lemon juice mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Finally, coat the fillet in the sesame seeds, pressing them onto the fish to ensure they stick.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the crust is golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
The Lemon Dill Sesame Crusted Cod is a perfect combination of tangy and savory flavors. The lemon and dill add a bright and fresh taste, while the sesame seeds provide a nutty and crunchy texture. This dish is perfect for a light and healthy dinner, and it pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
