Ingredients

2 servings
  • Cod fillet (unsalted)2 fillets
  • Oilto taste
  • Butter20g
  • ★Soy sauce2 tbsp
Allergens
milk

Directions

15 min
  1. 1

    Cod is a delicate fish that breaks easily, so use a fish spatula carefully when flipping.

  2. 2

    Heat a skillet and add oil. Cook the cod fillets in the hot pan.

  3. 3

    When one side turns golden brown, carefully flip using a fish spatula and cook the other side similarly.

  4. 4

    Once both sides are golden and the cod is cooked through, add 20g butter.

  5. 5

    When the butter has melted, add the ★ seasonings and simmer for about 1 minute, turning gently to coat.

  6. 6

    Place the cod on a plate, pour the sauce over it, and serve. Garnish with daikon radish sprouts or chopped green onions for a beautiful presentation.

Tips

The key to a beautiful finish is to cook one side completely until golden brown before flipping. Since cod is fragile, use a fish spatula to handle it carefully. If your fillets are thick, cover the skillet with a lid to ensure the center cooks through. This recipe works well with other white fish, but adjust the soy sauce amount if using saltier varieties.
