Description

Cod with SageThis is another simple dish for a weeknight.

It's just a white fish dusted with flour and sauteed in butter in which you have also cooked some fresh sage leaves to flavor the butter, just like the Pork Chops with Butter and Sage.

I like this with cod, which responds well to many flavors, but it does get delicate when cooked, and easily broken, so this might not be a great dish to serve company for a fancy dinner. I bet it would be fine with lemon sole or gray sole. 

It's delicious on its own, but even better with an unoaked dry white wine, or a chilled dry vermouth!

Ingredients

4TButter (Unsalted)
8eaSage Leaf
1⁄4cSeasoned Flour (for dredging)

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a skillet, then add the sage leaves and cook them gently.
  2. Roll the cod fillet in the flour and cook it in the pan for about 5-6 minutes on each side, depending on how thick it is.
  3. Gently move the fish to a serving dish, then dress it with the fried sage leaves and a little of the cooking butter.
  4. Serve hot.
