Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're looking at a quick weeknight dinner that comes together in just 15 minutes—pan-fried cod gets a luxurious lemon-chive cream sauce that's silky and bright. The main thing to watch is getting the fish fillets golden on both sides before the cream goes in, and the whole dish relies on having everything prepped and ready to go since the cooking happens fast.

    Prepare the fillets

    Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the lemon juice. Take off the heat and use this mixture to marinate the fish pieces on both sides.

    Fry and add the cream

    Heat butter in the pan - you can add 1 tablespoon of olive oil too. Fry the floured fillets until golden on both sides, then pour in the cream. Season the cream lightly with salt, stir, and let it simmer for a few minutes.

About this recipe

The best part of today's recipe is the lemon-chive sauce. I made it here with a super-quick cod fillet, but it's just as wonderful with grilled fish - really, with pretty much any fish.
