Ingredients

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 (5 ounce) cod fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
2 medium limes, zested and juiced

Directions

1 Combine paprika, parsley, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl and mix well. Brush cod fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil; rub with the spice mixture. Use all of the spice mixture and make sure they are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place cod on a foil-lined baking sheet.
3 Cook in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily and is opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, melt ghee with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add lime zest and juice and swirl the pan to mix. Serve the cod topped with lime butter.
