Recipe Details
In this streamlined one-skillet preparation, cod fillets undergo a straightforward pan-roasting process: basted with butter over stovetop heat, then gently transferred to a moderate oven for final cooking to ensure uniform doneness and a tender, flaky texture.
During the cod’s resting period, the savory pan drippings are transformed into a vibrant, lemon-forward sauce with sweet cherry tomatoes, briny olives, tangy capers, and fragrant dill. The sauce’s harmonious balance of buttery richness and zesty acidity complements the mild flavor profile of the seafood.
Notably, this preparation is highly versatile—hake, halibut, or other similarly mild white fish varieties substitute seamlessly.
