1

Chop and dice about a quarter of an onion into small pieces.

2

Mince three fresh garlic cloves.

3

Rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry to remove moisture.

4

Cut the cod into smaller pieces.

5

Brush both sides of the cod with olive oil.

6

Season both sides of the cod with sea salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and Louisiana Cajun seasoning.

7

Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat and add about two tablespoons of olive oil.

8

Add the cod fillets to the skillet and cook for three minutes without flipping.

9

Carefully flip the cod fillets and cook for four minutes on the other side, adding four tablespoons of unsalted butter, one sprig of rosemary, one sprig of thyme, and two cloves of minced garlic after two minutes.

10

Baste the cod with the drippings until it is opaque and flakes easily.

11

In a separate pan, add three tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of diced onions, cooking over medium heat.

12

Add the minced garlic, one teaspoon of dried rosemary, and one teaspoon of dried thyme to the onions.

13

Add salt and pepper to taste, then pour in 1/4 cup of white cooking wine and let it reduce.

14

Lower the heat and add 3/4 cup of heavy cream and the juice of half a large lemon, mixing for one to two minutes.

15

Plate the dish by adding a few spoonfuls of sauce, placing the cod in the center, and garnishing with chopped parsley and a slice of lemon.
