Notes
For a richer twist, substitute cod with salmon. You can also replace crème fraîche with heavy cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option. Fresh dill or chives can replace parsley for garnish, and lime juice can be used in place of lemon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to preserve texture. For best results, use thick, evenly sized cod fillets and don't skip the searing step for added flavor.
