Ingredients
- 4 Cod Fillets thaw if frozen
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1/3 cup Dry White Wine
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 4 tablespoons Capers drained
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place the flour into a shallow bowl. Season both sides of the cod fillets with salt and pepper and dredge each fillet into the flour, covering both sides.
- In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets and saute for 4 minutes on each side; transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and scrape down the sides. Place the garlic into the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine. Cook until the liquid is almost evaporated, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Add 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, all of the lemon juice, and heavy cream into the skillet, bring to a boil.
- Whisk the cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth together in a small bowl and pour into the skillet.
- Once the sauce thickens, about 1 more minute of cooking, place the fillets back into the skillet and top with capers. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or parsley.
