A delightful cod recipe with a tangy Asian-inspired lemon glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Combine the ginger, soy sauce, scallions, parsley, butter, and lemon curd in a bowl to create the glaze.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them with flour.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown. Sear the cod fillets on both sides until golden.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking.
Transfer the seared cod to a baking dish. Spread the glaze evenly over the fillets.
Ensure the glaze covers the fillets completely for maximum flavor.
Bake the cod in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.
Check the fish's doneness by gently pressing with a fork; it should flake easily.
Remove the cod from the oven. Deglaze the baking dish with a splash of water, stirring to create a sauce. Pour this over the fish before serving.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce for extra tanginess.
Serve the cod fillets over a bed of rice, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
