Ingredients
The following ingredients have 3 Servings
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 tbsp other fresh herb such as mint, dill or tarragon, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb cod fillet, about 1/4 inch thick
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Season the cod with a bit of salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil on medium high. When the pan is good and hot, add the cod and sear for 1 minute on each side.
- After the brief pan searing of the cod, transfer it to a shallow, oven proof dish and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until it is just cooked through and flakes easy. Check at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking, giving it the extra 5 minutes if it doesn’t appear done.
- As the cod is roasting, combine the herbs, garlic and lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the cod is done, plate portions of it topped with a bit of the pesto, and pass extra pesto at the table.
