Lobster Stuffed Baked Cod is the perfect meal for a special occasion. Think about Valentine’s Day dinner, birthdays, anniversaries or a random “you’re special”. Buttery cod topped with lump lobster meat and beurre blanc, also known as “white butter”.
As far as fish goes, cod is fairly inexpensive. A thick baked cod fillet of fish that is white and flaky and fork tender, it is for more than just fish and chips or a fish fry.
You can grill, broil or just bake cod with a little bit of lemon, salt and pepper. But you know what really takes the cake? Lobster Stuffed Baked Cod.
It does increase the grocery bill just a little, but you only need one lobster tail for 4 fillets of cod. And if lobster doesn’t float your boat, you can use langostinos, shrimp or even crab with the same recipe! And if cod isn’t your gig, swamp out the fish for salmon, halibut or tilapia.
Lump lobster meat is gently seasoned and paired with sour cream, which adds a slightly tart taste to the sweet clarified butter and smoky paprika.
I originally saw a similar recipe on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on a a flight from Chicago to Baltimore. I can’t even remember where they were located or the name of the restaurant, but I am going to take a guess it was up North towards Boston or Maine.
We served our Lobster Stuffed Baked Cod with Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes and Burnt Carrots (don’t judge, they are excellent).

Let me start with I am the queen of substitution. I made this recipe, but only had about half of the real ingredients. I used haddock instead of cod and ranch dressing instead of sour cream. For the Beurre Blanc Sauce, I used a can of whipped cream instead of heavy cream and onion powder instead of shallots. My butter was not unsalted and my cracker crumbs were gluten free. In spite of all that, the whole family said it was delicious, even my grandson who doesn’t like fish!
I’m so glad you loved it! I’m curious about the ranch dressing substitution!
Very tasty. I used Townhouse crackers mixed with the lobster meat and poured the sauce on the lobster meat and then added it on top of the baked fish. This would be the best for a baked-stuffed lobster recipe.
That sounds fabulous! Glad you enjoyed!
