Ingredients:
- 2 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets (or other firm white fish like halibut or haddock – substitute for a similar texture)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, can substitute with chicken broth)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: lemon wedges and extra parsley
Instructions:
-
Prep the Fish: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. This simple step ensures perfectly seasoned and flaky fish.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
-
Deglaze the Pan (Optional): If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This adds depth of flavor to the sauce. If omitting wine, proceed directly to the next step.
-
Cook the Fish: Add the seasoned cod fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as this will result in dry fish.
-
Create the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve: Serve the Ghostly Fish Steaks immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and extra parsley. Enjoy this healthy and delicious meal!
Tips for Dreamlight Valley Cooking Success:
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the fish in batches ensures even cooking and prevents steaming.
- Check for doneness: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Adjust seasonings: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick.
Variations:
- Spicy Ghostly Fish: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Herby Ghostly Fish: Experiment with different herbs like dill, thyme, or oregano.
- Creamy Garlic Ghostly Fish: Increase the amount of garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
