Butter - Steamed Cod Category: Fish: Seafood dishes, etc... Posted by: Aceman Quantity: Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 lb. filet of cod 1 large onion 1 leek 3 - 4 carrots 2 tbsp margarine or butter 1/2 lemon salt, pepper, seasoning Instructions: If you are using frozen cod, let it thaw partially before preparing it. The more you let it thaw, the firmer it gets after cooking. So, if you like the cod "juicy", leave it a little frozen. Cut vegetables into thin slices. Melt butter / margarine in a large pan, preferably cast iron or Silverstone. When butter is melted, turn down heat and ad vegetables. Cut fish into finger thick slices and distribute evenly on top of vegetables. Sprinkle with juice from the lemon (squeeze half a lemon over the pan). Distribute salt and pepper. Other seasoning by taste (soy - sauce, oregano, whatever you like). Let steam for 15 - 20 minutes under a lid. Serve on bed of rice or with potatoes. The steaming produces quite a bit of gravy, so unless you want some special sauce, you don't have to make any sauce. Comments: Very tasty, healthy and good looking fish - dish. I have also successfully prepared slices of salmon the same way. If you add a can or two of hermetized tomatoes and some water, you get a tasty fish soup. Please, if you make other improvements or variations, let me know. ENJOY ! :)
