Pan Roasted Cod with Summer Ragu
This way to cook fish is a favorite of mine, hearty, warm, comforting, quick and easy. Tender fish with a golden brown crust/skin is perfect for the summer when there’s not enough time to cook dinner. We spend most of our Summer days basking out in the sun, but we still need a nice meal to replenish our souls.
Ancient Halaby blend has that perfect citrus-ey berry flavor profile to elevate the Cod and also round up the summer ragu. When choosing your white wine for this recipe, I would suggest using one that is dry and crisp, such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio for either cooking or pairing it with!
I would also recommend using an oven proof non-stick pan or skillet when cooking this recipe to avoid the cod sticking to the pan and breaking when you try to flip it, since the cod is delicate.
If you love cod fish recipes I would recommend you cook this one for dinner/lunch tonight and if you don’t like cod, you will after giving this recipe a try!
