Cod Recipe in Butter Wine Sauce

Easy Cod Recipe in Buttery Wine Sauce. Cod fillets seasoned and pan cooked in a butter wine sauce. The easy tomato sauce enhances the flavor resulting in flaky, juicy, and oh-so-tender cod fish (just as delicious as our Buttered Cod in Skillet).

We love the combination of butter with seafood; just look at the flavors it gives baked salmon and shrimp – so good!

cod fish recipe-

White cod fish is a great fish to cook with when you’re in a hurry and need dinner quickly. Cod fillets require little seasoning but result in a great fish recipe. Cod fish is mild in flavor, and the fillets are lean meat and, when smothered in the butter sauce, create an unforgettable taste. The perfect choice for a light and healthy meal.

This cod recipe is spectacular and ready in 15 minutes when cooked in a skillet. The cod fillets are seasoned, then cooked in a tomato butter wine sauce and topped with fresh herbs. The tomatoes burst and release juices that compliment the already delicious wine and butter sauce. If you love this butter wine sauce, you will love our tomato basil chicken made in the same sauce!

how to cook cod fish-

Preparing cod fillets in a skillet is really quick, and you want to make sure everything is measured out and prepped. The fish is completely ready in 15 minutes, so have the table set and your side ready to be served.

seasoning for cod-

This homemade seasoning for fish is a favorite of ours. It brings out the flavors in the rather mild cod and enhances its natural taste.

• Combine the cumin, paprika, garlic, chili and salt and pepper. Generously coat all sides of the cod and set it aside.

prepare tomato butter wine sauce-

• In a skillet, add the cherry tomatoes with the wine and chicken broth and cook until tomatoes start to burst, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the butter and cook until butter melts; stir sauce as needed. Add the seasoned cod and cook 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once. DON’T OVER COOK the fish. It cooks really quickly if overcooked, it will fall apart and turn to mush. (NOTE: Cook time will slightly vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.)
• Pour the sauce generously over the cod before serving and top with herbs.
• ENJOY!

Seafood is great to cook with; we try to serve seafood once a week in our home. We always try to create recipes that even our kiddos will approve of.

can I use frozen cod fillets?

No, cod cooks really quickly, and the fillets need to be thawed, or they won’t cook through, and you’ll have raw meat in the center. Thoroughly thaw frozen fish in the refrigerator before preparing the fish.

what kind of wine do I use?

Use any dry white wine for this recipe, I used an inexpensive Chardonnay with great results.

how can I bake this cod recipe in the oven?

This cod fish is excellent when baked in the oven. To prepare cod in the oven, season the fillets and place them in a baking dish. Prepare the wine sauce per instruction and pour over the cod. Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 12-14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
