Method
6 steps · 20 minutes
- Salt the cod on both sides and leave it 10 minutes, then pat it dry. This firms the flesh, which is what stops a lean fish falling to pieces in the pan.
- Fry it in a pat of the butter over medium-high heat, 3 minutes on the first side without moving it.
- Turn it, cook 2 minutes more, and lift it onto warm plates.
- Add the rest of the butter to the empty pan and swirl it over the heat as it foams, then quietens, then turns nut-brown and smells like toffee. That takes about 90 seconds and it burns in the next thirty.
- Off the heat, throw in the drained capers — they will spit — and a good squeeze of lemon.
- Stir in the parsley and pour the lot over the fish while it is still foaming.
