National Bosses Day is tomorrow and if you you to do something extra special, bring in a home cooked meal. I almost sorta like to cook–as long as it’s easy and good, I’m with it! Check out this fab recipe for pan-seared cod with preserved-lemon aioli as seen on the Today Show that was engineered by Top Chef judge, Gail Simmons. The best thing about it: only takes only 20 minutes and looks delicious.
INGREDIENTS
In a blender, puree the mayonnaise with the preserved lemon, garlic, water, cayenne and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the aioli with salt and pepper and scrape it into a small bowl.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper and dust with the flour. Cook the fish over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden on the outside and white throughout, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the cod to plates and serve with the lemon aioli.
The aioli is creamy and also can be used as a dipping sauce for roasted potatoes. It can be made up to 4 days in advance.
Thanks for putting the thought in and writing it
