How to Cook Cod

Cod is an easy fish to cook and there are several methods to choose from. You can bake cod, grill it, pan fry (sear) or even smoke it. My favorite is pan seared.

Why? The two biggest reasons are flavor and time. Pan searing adds more flavor than other options (think golden brown perfection) and it can cook in under 10 minutes on the stovetop!

The Best Way to Make Cod!

This cod recipe is my favorite way to prepare cod! I've tried other options but they aren't ever quite as delicious.

Cod can be pretty mild tasting and it's a versatile fish that adapts well to various flavors. Here we enhance it by browning in a hot skillet and finishing with an impressive and well balanced sauce.

A classic seafood upgrade used to amplify flavor used here, is a tempting and welcomed trio of ingredients. Basic but bold - it's lemon, butter and garlic.

And we don't just use your typical everyday butter. We are making it top notch delicious with a special ingredient - Danish Creamery European Style Butter!

I am obsessed with this butter lately! It makes the best cookies, excellent cakes, the ultimate buttered toast, and it upgrades your favorite savory recipes too.

What's superior about it? The extra fat and less water content. It is 85% butterfat (which is even higher than most European butters coming in at 82% to 83% butterfat, and traditional butter at only 80% butterfat).

It's also slow churned in small batches offering a velvety texture, plus it's preserved in foil so it maintains it's fabulous flavor and doesn't absorb any off flavors from the fridge.

It's extra rich and extra creamy, just the way butter should be. And their recipe hasn't changed since 1895, why change such a good thing?

Once you try it you'll see what all the fuss is about!
