How to make?
Ingredients
4 to 6 ounces thick boneless, skinless cod fillet
1 teaspoon butter
Herbs
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon crème fraiche
Zest of 1/8 lemon
Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In the center of a large square of heavy duty foil, place 1 teaspoon butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides, and place on the butter. Top with a good amount of herbs, zest, white wine, and crème fraiche. Seal the bundle, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, and serve immediately. I like to serve it with crusty warm bread or plain boiled potatoes.
Light and fresh and not intrusive.
Very summery.
Woodsy and autumnal.
Dill being a distinctive seafood herb, this is quite traditional.
What I used personally, proving that sometimes more is more.
