Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 150g per fillet) Cod fillets
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters White wine (dry)
- 100 milliliters Fish stock
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook—the cod should flake easily but remain moist. Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine and fish stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
Step 6
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet and stir in the lemon juice. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
Step 7
Place the cod fillets back into the skillet, spooning the onion and sauce mixture over the top to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat until the cod is heated through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped chives over the dish.
Step 9
Serve immediately, plating the cod fillets with the onion and chive sauce draped over the top. Pair with boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple side salad.
