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



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.
