Pan-Seared Cod with Bacon Mushrooms and White Wine Sauce
- 600g (1 lb 5 oz) cod fillet
- 140g (5 oz) diced bacon
- 200g (7 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 30ml (2 tbsp) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish
- 60ml (1/4 cup) white wine
- 30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Season the cod fillet with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, then remove from heat and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the lemon juice and white wine to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and stir to combine with the mushrooms.
7. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
8. Add the seasoned cod fillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
9. Place the seared cod on a serving platter, spoon the mushroom and bacon mixture over the top.
10. Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately. Be careful when handling the hot skillet and plates.
