Ingredients
1 lb cod fillets, Pacific, Atlantic, Ling, or Pollock
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
4 tbsp salted butter, cut into pats
2 tbsp lemon juice, about 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp chopped parsley or dill
Instructions
1. Preheat a water bath using an immersion circulator to 130°F.
2. Season the cod fillets with garlic powder and kosher salt.
3. Place seasoned fillets in a vacuum-seal or zip-top bag. Add butter pats over fish, then seal using vacuum sealer or water displacement method.
4. Place the bag in the preheated water bath. Cook for 30 minutes. If cooking from frozen, extend to 45 minutes.
5. Carefully remove cod from the bag onto a serving plate. Pour the butter sauce from the bag over the fish.
6. Top with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley or dill. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh cod for the best results—Pacific, Atlantic, or Ling.
To cook from frozen, extend time to 45 minutes.
Cod is delicate; skip pan searing. Use a torch if light browning is desired.
Pairs well with quinoa, steamed greens, or mashed potatoes.
