How to Cook Black Cod Fillet
Pan-Seared Black Cod
- Ingredients: 2 black cod fillets, salt, pepper, olive oil or butter, optional lemon wedges.
- Preparation: Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cooking Method: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter. Place the fillets skin side down in the pan. Sear for about 4–5 minutes, until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
- Tip: For extra flavor, squeeze lemon juice over the fillets before serving.
Grilled Black Cod Fillet with Lemon Butter
- Ingredients: 2 black cod fillets, salt, pepper, melted butter, lemon zest, and fresh dill.
- Preparation: Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush fillets with melted butter and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
- Cooking Method: Grill each side for about 4 minutes, starting with the skin side down. Baste with more butter as it cooks to keep the fillets moist.
- Tip: Serve with fresh dill and lemon wedges for garnish.
