Quick-Braised Cod With Herbed Yogurt image

In this blissfully easy weeknight dinner, cod and shallots are braised in butter and wine, then topped with an herbed, garlicky yogurt sauce. It's fast, flavorful and comforting, especially when served with mashed potatoes to drink up the pan juices. You can substitute any other mild-fleshed fish for the cod. Hake, sea bass, flounder and porgy all work nicely, though you may have to adjust the cooking time, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cod or hake fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 large shallot or 1/4 of a red onion, thinly sliced
5 sprigs thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup plain yogurt (see Note)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, parsley or cilantro, more for serving
1 small clove garlic, finely grated or minced
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season fish with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a large skillet with a lid, melt butter in olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until slightly thickened and shallot is very soft, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Add cod to pan, spoon some of the shallots over top of fish and cover pan. Reduce heat as needed; the liquid should be at a simmer, not a boil. Cook until fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together yogurt, dill, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the cod immediately, topped with shallots, yogurt sauce and dill. Drizzle everything with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky salt and more pepper.

This recipe is a joke. The cod was dry and tasteless, and the sauce was watery and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Not bad, but not great either. The cod was a bit overcooked and the sauce was too runny. I think I'll experiment with the recipe a bit before I make it again.

This recipe is a fail-proof way to cook cod. The fish was cooked evenly throughout and had a wonderful flavor. The sauce was delicious too, but I would have preferred it to be a bit thicker.

The cod turned out amazing! I was hesitant about the herbed yogurt sauce at first, but it really brought the dish together. It was the perfect balance of tangy and creamy.

This recipe is an absolute delight! The cod was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist on the inside, with a crispy golden-brown exterior. The herbed yogurt sauce was the perfect complement, adding a tangy and herbaceous flavor that elevated the dish
