    6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 medium limes
  • 1/2 cup dry vermouth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cod fillets (5 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Finely grate peel from one lime. Squeeze juice from all limes to measure 1/2 cup. Reserve 2 tablespoons juice for lime butter. In a small bowl, mix vermouth, salt and remaining lime juice.
  • Place cod fillets in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish; pour vermouth mixture over cod. Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.
  • For lime butter, in a small bowl, beat butter and cream until fluffy. Gradually add reserved juice; stir in lime peel and pepper. Serve with fish; sprinkle with almonds.
Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
