  • ★Soy sauce2 tbsp
Allergens

Directions

15 min
  1. 1

    Note: Cod falls apart easily, so use a spatula to handle it with care throughout cooking.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a frying pan and pan-fry the cod fillets.

  3. 3

    Once one side turns golden brown, carefully flip each fillet with a spatula and cook the other side the same way.

  4. 4

    When both sides are nicely browned and the cod is cooked through, add 20g of butter.

  5. 5

    Once the butter has melted, add the ★ seasonings and cook for about 1 minute, turning the fish to coat it in the sauce.

  6. 6

    Plate the cod and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with daikon sprouts or sliced green onions for a beautiful finish.

Tips

Make sure to cook the first side until fully golden before flipping — this gives you a cleaner result. Since cod breaks apart easily, always use a spatula. If the fillets are thick, cover the pan with a lid to ensure the heat reaches the center. This method works well with other fish too, but if using a saltier variety, reduce the amount of soy sauce accordingly.
