Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the cod fillets under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and season with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets, skin side up (if they have skin), and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
3
While the fish is baking, prepare the creamy mustard sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
4
Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully place the cod fillets on a plate. Spoon the creamy mustard sauce over the top of each fillet, followed by a sprinkle of chopped capers and fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
