Cod and Lemon caper cream sauce with bourbon

I used cod steaks.

  • 1 inch thick cod steak
  • flour, salt, pepper
  • 1 T olive oil
Pat cod dry, sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Coat lightly in flour. Heat oil in pan, fry first side 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook on other side 4-5 minutes or until fish is done and flaky.

Lemon caper cream sauce
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 T capers
  • 2 medium sized shallots
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 T flour
  • 1.5 oz. bourbon or white wine
  • 1 oz. stock
  • salt, pepper to taste
Melt butter. Sautee shallots, garlic and capers for 1-2 minutes. Add flour, stock and bourbon. Add cream, bring to simmer. Let reduce for 7-10 minutes, until sauce is thick. Season with salt and pepper

Lemon to sprinkle over everything, parmesan cheese if making pasta.
