INGREDIENTS: Cod fillet 21.2 oz (600 g) - (4 fillets); Pine nuts 2 tbsp (30 g); Clarified butter 2.8 oz (80 g); Type 00 flour 2 oz (50 g); Fine salt to taste; Black pepper to taste; Parsley 2 tsp (10 g) - to be chopped; Water ⅔ cup (150 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Pan-fried cod fillet

To prepare the pan-fried cod fillet, first toast the pine nuts over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes 1 until they are nicely golden; then set them aside. Meanwhile, also chop the parsley 2, which will be used later. Pour the clarified butter into a pan and let it melt over low heat 3.

In the meantime, pour the flour into a baking dish, season with salt and pepper 4. When the butter is completely melted, start flouring the cod fillets 5, turn up the heat and lay them in the pan 6.

Proceed quickly to bread the other fillets and as you go, arrange them in the pan 7. Let them cook for a couple of minutes on high heat, in order to get a golden crust, then flip the fillets with a kitchen spatula 8 and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Then transfer the cod fillets to a plate and keep them warm 9.

In the same pan where you just cooked the cod, pour the 2/3 cup of water 10, and let it cook on high heat for a few seconds until a creamy sauce is obtained; then add the chopped parsley 11, mix everything and season with salt and pepper 12. Let the water evaporate completely: it will take about 4-5 minutes.

At this point, transfer the fillets to a serving plate 13; then with a spoon, take the sauce from the pan 14 and place it on the fillets. Finish with the toasted pine nuts and your pan-fried cod fillet is ready to be served while still hot 15.

How to store

Store the pan-fried cod fillet in the refrigerator for 1-2 days at most, well covered. If you have used all fresh ingredients it is possible to freeze, adding the toasted pine nuts only when serving.

Tips

We recommend using only fresh cod fillets, not thawed ones to prevent them from flaking during cooking. Moreover, to achieve a crispy crust, it is preferable to use clarified butter as indicated; if you cannot find it, use the same amount of regular butter and add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil: this way you will prevent it from burning. For an even crispier breading, try breading the fillets with corn flour, or add a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the all-purpose flour!
