Time 47m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6-ounce) Pacific cod fillets
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
Creamed Corn, for serving, recipe follows
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 ears fresh corn, husks removed, kernels cut off the cob and milk scraped from the cob with the back of a knife
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine cilantro, garlic, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking to incorporate all the ingredients. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper, if necessary, and set aside.
  • For the fish: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet placed over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, sear the cod for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Once the butter has melted, flip the cod and finish cooking it on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more, or until just cooked through.
  • To plate: Place a spoonful of Creamed Corn onto a plate. Set a piece of fish over the corn and spoon over the cilantro vinaigrette.
  • In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and corn milk to the pan, as well as the garlic. Season the corn with salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the cream has reduced, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully transfer half of the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add the pureed portion back to the pan and place over heat to warm through. Season the creamed corn with salt and pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cod turned out dry and overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The cod was cooked perfectly and the flavors were great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover creamed corn. I had a can in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in the vinaigrette. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish was overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used tilapia instead of cod and added some diced tomatoes to the creamed corn.

This recipe is a keeper! The cod was moist and flaky, and the cilantro vinaigrette was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pan-seared Pacific cod recipe was an absolute delight! The fish was cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. The cilantro vinaigrette and creamed corn were also delicious and complemented the cod beautifully.
