Recipe: Cod with Dill Sauce

Cod with Dill Sauce

• 2 leeks, white and tender green parts, thinly sliced and soaked in water to remove sand.
• 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon butter or Earth Balance
• 4-8 oz cod fillets
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Unbleached flour for dredging
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus more for garnish

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in 2 tablespoons of the oil until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, savory, broth and wine. Raise the heat to high, and cook until the liquid has been reduced by half, about 12-15 minutes. Put the mixture in a food processor or blender, add the butter, and puree. Pour into a small bowl, set aside, and cover to keep warm.
Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper, and lightly dredge in flour. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over high heat in the same skillet. Add the cod fillets and saute, turning once, until golden - about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook.

Arrange fish on a serving platter. Stir the dill into the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper Pour the sauce over the fish. Garnish with additional dill if desired.

Serve with fresh, steamed vegetable or salad
