Notes & Tips

This is the one I make when I want fish on the table without any fuss — lemon, butter, a whisper of flour, done in half an hour. Cod is forgiving and mild, so it's a good place to start if fish still makes you a little nervous. No cod? Haddock, tilapia or halibut all slide right in. Don't skip the parsley-and-zest at the end; that little green-and-gold shower is what makes it taste like somewhere near the water.
