Olive oil poached cod
Servings : 2 / Cook time: 30min
Ingredients :
- 2 cod fillets
- salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil (enough to cover the fish in a shallow pan. Use most of a bottle)
- 2 slices of lemon (plus 2 small wedges for serving)
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh herbs (such as basil)
- flaked sea salt
Recipe
Instructions :
- Season the fish fillet with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- In a small saucepan or skillet, add enough olive oil to completely cover the fish once added (at least 3 cm). Place over low heat until the oil reaches somewhere between 120 and 150 degrees Celsius. (This won't take very long.) Add 2 slices of lemon, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh herbs. If the temperature continues to rise, turn off the heat and continue to monitor the temperature, adding more or less heat as needed.
- Add the seasoned fish to the oil and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer to a plate and drizzle with a little olive oil, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and finish with flaky sea salt. Enjoy immediately!
