Ingredients

20 minutes
2 servings
  1. fish
  2. 1 lbscod loin fillet
  3. Seasoning for fish (I used a combination Asian garlic rub/black pepper)
  4. 1 Tbspolive oil (I used chili infused olive oil)
  5. 1 Tbspbutter
  6. for sauce
  7. 2 Tbspbutter
  8. 2 Tbspflour
  9. 3green onions chopped
  10. 2red chili peppers chopped
  11. 1 tspgarlic cloves minced (about 2 large cloves)
  12. 1 cupheavy cream
  13. 1/4 cupchicken broth
  14. 2 tspcajun seasoning
  15. 1 tspFranks Hot Sauce
  16. Garnish: chopped parsley, chives or green onions

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Season both sides of fish. Add olive oil and butter to a skillet. On medium to high heat add fish to skillet. Get a good sear on the fish, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and finish cooking, another 2-3 minutes. I usually cover the skillet if cooking inside to prevent splatter. Fish should have a 120°F internal temperature and start to flake.

  2. 2

    Very carefully plate the fish to prevent it from falling apart. I used 2 spatulas. Cover plate to keep warm.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet add butter and melt on low heat. Add onions and peppers and soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Whisk in flour to make a roux. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and add addition seasoning or salt if needed. If too thick add some broth, and if too thin simmer a little longer.

  5. 5

    Pour some sauce over fish and serve remaining sauce on the side. Garnish with parsley, chopped green onions or chives. Enjoy.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
