Flaky pan-seared cod in a glossy lemon-butter sauce with parsley. Light and elegant.

Ingredients

• 300 g Cod fillet
• 3 tbsp Butter
• Lemon × 1
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Parsley

Method

1. Sear the cod

   

   Pat the cod dry, season, and sear in a little butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes a side, until the flesh turns opaque and just flakes.

2. Make the sauce

   

   Add the rest of the butter, the garlic and a good squeeze of lemon to the pan and swirl until it comes together into a glossy sauce.

3. Serve

   

   Spoon the lemon butter over the cod and finish with parsley and a lemon slice.
