Cod Fillet with Candied Lemon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
• 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Remove the zest from the two lemons and set aside. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze out the juice.
3. In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and wine together over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and stir to combine.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and turned syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
6. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is hot. Add the cod fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove the skillet from the oven and spoon the candied lemon mixture over the cod fillets. Serve hot.
