- Cod fish fillets – This is an affordable white fish that takes on the flavors it’s cooked with. Haddock, Pollack, or Mahi Mahi would make great substitutes.
- Olive oil – Or use another neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, avocado, or safflower oil.
- Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper
- Unsalted butter
- Garlic Lemon zest
- Green onions, for garnish
Season the fish
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel so the seasonings adhere better to the surface. It will also help the fish crisp on the outside when seared.
- Season both sides of the cod fillets with the spices. It may help to mix them together in a small bowl first to get even coverage.
- Next, sear the fish on both sides in hot oil.
- Continue cooking until the fish flakes apart, flipping again halfway through.
- Melt the butter in the pan with garlic and lemon zest. Coat the fish in the garlic butter.
- Remove the pan from heat and transfer the fish to a serving dish.
- Then, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top and serve with your favorite sides.

FEBRUARY WINE CLUB:

Martellotto Winery
M by Martellotto
Sta. Rita Hills, California
SILKY WINE STYLE
“A Chardonnay lover’s Chardonnay. Sourced from the Spear Vineyards, located a few miles west of the winery in Buellton, off Highway 246 in the Santa Rita Hills. This area is famous for the best, cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Spear Vineyard is CCOF certified organic and located near Seasmoke, which charges $100-200/bottle of their wines!” – Martellotto Winery
The wine was stainless tank fermented and then rested in neutral French oak barrels for 12 months. This Chardonnay has a lovely natural acidity and a light zip in the mouth from the sandy loam vineyard that was covered by the Pacific Ocean millennia ago. The wine is light, delicate, and an eminently drinkable quaffer that pairs with a variety of foods. If you love Chablis and dry, nuanced Chardonnay, then you will love this wine. The M by Martellotto was naturally produced and organically farmed.
