Ingredients

4 cod fillets (approx. 150 g)
100 g sesame seeds
70 g butter
1 lemon juice
25 cl liquid crème fraîche
Salt and pepper

Preparation

Prepare the sesame butter. Gently melt 50g butter in a small
heavy-bottomed saucepan. Once the butter has melted, add the sesame seeds and a pinch of salt
and mix well. Spread the sesame butter mixture thinly on a
baking sheet lined with parchment paper. To make this easier, add
a sheet of parchment paper and roll out the mixture with a rolling pin.
Set in the freezer.
In 20g of butter, fry the cod backs briefly, going back and forth. Preheat
the oven to 190°C/200°C (thermostat 6/7). Cut rectangles of sesame butter to
the size of the cod. Place the fish backs in a dish and place the
rectangles of butter on top of the cod. Drizzle a few drops of sesame oil over
each piece of fish. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, then for a maximum of 1 minute under
the grill at the end of cooking to brown the sesame seeds. Keep warm.
Collect the cooking juices in a saucepan, add the crème fraîche and lemon juice from
, and season with salt and pepper. Heat and reduce the cream/lemon sauce. Serve the
cod backs topped with the lemon sauce.
