Butter Pan-Fried Cod Fish

Notes

Ingredients:
  • 2 pieces of cod fish
  • 1 green onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 green lemon (lime)
  • Natural butter, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking wine
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 leaf of lettuce (for decoration)
Instructions:
  1. Prepare the ingredients: chop green onions, slice garlic, and halve the lime. Set aside additional garnishes.
  2. Marinate the fish with cooking wine, oyster sauce, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pat the fish dry and slice it in the middle if it's too thick. Cut the lime in half.
  4. In a flat pan, melt butter over low heat and add the fish, green onions, and garlic. Brush an additional layer of oyster sauce on the fish.
  5. Squeeze the juice of one lime half over the fish and cover the pan.
  6. Once one side of the fish is golden brown, carefully flip it over. Be gentle as the fish is tender and can break easily.
  7. Cook until both sides are golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The fish should be tender and flake easily.
  8. Serve the fish on a bed of lettuce for presentation.
