INGREDIENTS
Fish
- 🐟 1 1/2 pounds cod filets
Flour & Thickeners
- 4 teaspoons flour
Dairy
- 🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Citrus
- 🍋 1 large lemon
Vegetables & Herbs
- 2 tablespoons shallot, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Liquids
- 🍷 1/4 cup white wine
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
STEPS
Pat cod filets dry with paper towels and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Use a scant teaspoon of flour to very lightly dust one side of cod filets.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When butter stops bubbling, add cod filets, floured side down. Cook undisturbed, until a light brown color develops, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove filets and keep warm.
Cook lemon slices in the same skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, turning to cook evenly, and add shallots and capers. Cook about 1 minute more.
Stir in white wine; cook about 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits. Add chicken broth, chopped parsley, and lemon juice; cook about 4 minutes.
Return cod filets to the skillet, floured side up. Cook in the sauce until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove and keep warm.
Remove about 1/4 cup of liquid from skillet; allow to cool slightly.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and stir until melted.
Whisk cooled liquid and remaining flour together to make a smooth slurry. Stir slurry briskly into skillet; cook until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Pour sauce over cod filets and garnish with parsley if desired.
