Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds boneless and skinless cod fillets (4 fillets (each about 5 ounces))
1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large garlic clove (minced)
1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
1/3 cup low sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth or seafood broth)
1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 to 1.5 teaspoons dried dill or dill weed)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Lemon wedges (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Pat cod fillets dry of excess moisture with paper towels and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a 12-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Place cod fillets in the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side.
  • Carefully flip the cod fillets to the other side and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Time may vary, depending on the thickness of your fillets.Note: Be gentle flipping, especially if using super fresh fish, as the fillets are quite delicate.
  • Once fillets are done, carefully remove with a spatula, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
  • Pour in heavy cream, broth and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced/thickened and coats the back of a spoon when you draw your finger through it. Taste for seasoning and add more, if necessary, to taste.
  • Once sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in dill, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Pour sauce over fish and serve with lemon wedges (if desired). Enjoy!

Steamed Fish With Sour Cream Sauce image

The is from "The Swiss Cookbook". I haven't made it yet. Times are guesstimates. The original recipe just said "sour cream". No doubt full fat sour cream would be better, but I have to watch the cholesterol.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh fish fillets or steaks. If using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper, or your favorite fish seasoning blend, before cooking.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat until it is cooked through but still flaky. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan or skillet for making the cream sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Add the cream and other ingredients to the saucepan or skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly until the sauce has thickened.
  • Pour the cream sauce over the cooked fish and serve immediately.
