Simple Pan-Seared Cod with Brown Butter Sauce

This recipe highlights the delicate flavor of cod with a rich, nutty brown butter sauce.

Cooking Steps

• Prep the Cod: Season 4 cod fillets with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour (optional, for a crispier crust).
• Sear: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cod in the pan and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cod and set aside.
• Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter melts, foams, and brown bits form at the bottom, giving off a nutty aroma.
• Finish: Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Pour the brown butter sauce over the pan-seared cod and serve immediately.
