For the crust:
1 large onion, finely chopped
40g Lurpak® Unsalted Butter and extra for greasing
50g breadcrumbs
15g flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tbsp capers, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
4 x 200g skinless cod fillets
For the sauce:
300ml fish stock
50g cold Lurpak® Unsalted Butter, cubed
10g flat leaf parsley, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon juice to taste
Preheat the oven to 200˚C / 180˚C fan 180C / gas mark 6.
Cook the onion gently in Lurpak® Unsalted Butter for 15 minutes until softened. Remove half of the onions to a bowl and leave the other half in the pan.
Add the breadcrumbs, parsley, capers, lemon zest to the onion in a bowl and mix well.
Lightly butter an ovenproof dish and place the cod fillets in it and season well. Press the crumbs onto the top of the fish and bake in the oven for 16 - 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets until just cooked through.
Meanwhile make the sauce by adding the stock to the onions in the pan and cook until reduced by half. Gradually swirl in the cubes of cold Lurpak® Unsalted Butter to make a glossy sauce, add the parsley and season with freshly ground black pepper and add lemon juice to taste.
Serve the cod with the sauce and seasonal vegetables.
Tip: Use monkfish, ling, pollack or haddock instead of cod, if desired.
