About the Recipe

Ingredients

4 5–6-oz. cod or other flaky whitefish fillets

Tajin seasoning- a few dashes on fish

2 tablespoons. Cornstarch

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced

4 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

2” piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Pat fish dry with paper towels, season with Tajin. Sprinkle one side with an even layer of cornstarch; brush off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lay the fish and cornstarch side down in a skillet and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden, crisp, and opaque around the edges, 6–8 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until fillets are cooked and flake easily with a fork, 1–2 minutes.


Meanwhile, place the scallions in a medium heatproof bowl. Combine butter, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter begins to foam and garlic turns light golden, about 4 minutes. Pour over scallions, stirring to wilt. Let cool for 1 minute, then season with salt


Serve fish with scallion-sesame butter spooned over
