Why Cod?
Cod is a lean, nutrient-dense white fish that’s high in protein, low in calories, and an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine. Its mild flavor makes it a versatile choice for pairing with the rich, savory taste of duck fat or butter, which adds a luxurious mouthfeel and healthy fats to fuel your body.
Why Cook in Duck Fat or Butter?
Duck fat and butter are rich in healthy fats that not only support your energy levels but also enhance the flavor of your dish. Duck fat, in particular, has a high smoke point, making it perfect for searing fish without compromising the integrity of the fats.
Tips for Success
- Choose Fresh Cod: Look for firm, white fillets with no fishy odor for the best results.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cooking the fillets in a single layer ensures even browning.
- Experiment with Garnishes: While lemon is optional, it adds a lovely contrast to the rich fat and mild cod.
