This recipe makes four servings of herb butter sauced golden seared cod.
Here are the ingredients: 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, salt, and pepper, to taste.
– Minced clove of garlic
– 2 teaspoons of finely chopped fresh parsley
• Chopped fresh dill (1 tablespoon) • Snipped fresh chives (1 tablespoon)
1. Use paper towels to dry the cod fillets, then season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Gently lay the fish fillets in the pan and sear for about four minutes per side, or until the bottom becomes a golden crisp.
5. Take the fish out of the pan and place it on a foil-lined platter to keep it warm.
6. Bring the same skillet to a medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until the garlic is aromatic and the butter has melted.
8. Top the heated cod fillets with the herb butter sauce and serve right away.
Here are some variations and tips: if you don’t like cod, you may use another white fish, such as halibut or tilapia, instead.
– A Dried herbs may be a lifesaver when time is of the essence; nevertheless, their taste is more concentrated than that of fresh herbs, so use them sparingly.
To ensure consistent cooking, maintain the thickness of your fish fillets about the same. Also, be sure not to overcrowd your pan; this will result in a nicer sear and more flavor from each piece. Cooking is fun, my buddies!
