Gilded Cod, or Merluzzo Dorato: Simple as fried fish may be, it is also quite satisfying. To serve 4:
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (500 g) cod fillets, either fresh or frozen
- Flour, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
- An egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 leaves sage
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more, to taste
- Lemon wedges
- Sprigs of parsley
Preparation:
If the fish is frozen, thaw it.
Flour the fillets and dredge them in the beaten egg. Meanwhile, heat the butter and sage. Sauté the fillets over a brisk flame for six minutes, turning them after three. Sprinkle them with the lemon juice, and transfer them to a serving platter, spooning the pan juices over them. Garnish the fish with the parsley, and serve it, with the lemon wedges on the side.
