Elegant Cod Fillets in a Zesty White Lemon Caper Reduction
Ingredients:
4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions:
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cod and sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the sauce for about 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice and capers.
Return the cod to the skillet and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Serve the cod fillets garnished with fresh parsley.
