4 T butter, divided 2 Cod fillets (4-6 oz) (frozen or thawed) Salt & pepper to taste 1 T of fresh lemon juice 2 tsp grated lemon zest 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 T snipped chives
Melt
2 T butter in a large nonstick skillet over med. heat. Rinse any ice
glaze from the frozen cod fillet under cold water; pat dry with paper
towel. Saute 6 min. per side for frozen fillets (varies by thickness)
or 3 min per side for thawed fish, turning once. Cook just until fish
is opaque throughout. Season fillets with salt & pepper. Remove
fillets from skillet; keep warm. Wipe out pan, if necessary. Add
remaining ingredients & heat thoroughly. Spoon sauce over fish to
serve. (http://www.cookitfrozen.com for more recipes)
How I did it for this recipe:
Cooked
cod same as above only omitted butter for a non-stick spray. Then I
only used 1 T of butter (I could have probably used less), lemon juice
(I didn't measure, I just squeezed all I could out of a lemon), lemon
zest (again, I didn't measure, I just did as much as I wanted), &
cayenne pepper (didn't measure, just guessed). I didn't use chives
because I didn't have any & I'm not a big fan of the anyway but, if
you like them, go for it.
