Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 7 oz fresh cod fillets skin on
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Gently pat dry the cod fillets with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
- Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the cod fillets skin-side down in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Gently turn the fillets over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. In the last minute, add the butter to the pan and baste the fish. The cod is cooked when all of the flesh has just turned opaque.
- Remove from the pan and serve straight away.
