Sautéed Cod with Pea Purée

Step 1

Add the peas to a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 3 min. Drain & set aside.

Step 2

Peel & mince the shallot. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallot. Cook, stirring for 2 min.

Step 3

Pour the vinegar into the pan & stir. Add most of the butter. Whisk until the melted butter & vinegar are combined. Season with salt & pepper. Cover & turn off the heat.

Step 4

Add the peas & rest of the butter to a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth. Add a splash of water if too thick. Be sure to season with salt & pepper!

Step 5

Pat the cod bone dry with a paper towel. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the cod for 2-3 min on each side, or until cooked through.

Step 6

Spoon the pea purée onto a serving plate. Top with pieces of cod. Pour the vinegar-butter sauce over all. Enjoy!
