Ingredients

8 total
  • 2 cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 40g salted butter, cut into 4 cubes
  • 35g capers, drained
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 small handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Season the cod and dust in flour on both sides. Shake off the excess.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil and 1 cube of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Set aside on warm plates.

  3. Step 3

    In the same pan, melt 2 cubes of butter until bubbling. Stir in the capers, cook for 1-2 mins, then add the wine. Simmer for 3 mins, until reduced slightly, then add the lemon juice, most of the parsley and a pinch of salt. Stir in the remaining butter to thicken the sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the sauce over the fish, scatter with the remaining parsley and eat immediately.
