Scandinavian Poached Cod
Ingredients
  • 6 cups water, or more as needed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 6 (6 ounce) fillets cod
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
  • 1 dash paprika
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven's broiler to the highest temperature setting.
2
Next, lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of cooking oil or non-stick spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
3
Mix together water, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large saucepan. Gently add the fish fillets to the water mixture, ensuring they are completely submerged if necessary. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
4
Boil the fish fillets for 3-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5
Remove the fillets from the water and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Brush the fish fillets with 6 tablespoons of melted, unsalted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika.
6
Place the fish fillets under the preheated broiler and cook until they are golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, but generally takes 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve immediately with additional melted butter on the side.
