🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or sole)
• 12 pieces Scallops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Green peppercorns in brine, drained and slightly crushed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Season the fish fillets and scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside on a plate, keeping them warm.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sear the scallops for 2 minutes per side, until they develop a golden crust. Remove and set aside with the fish.

5. Lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

6. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

7. Stir in the heavy cream and green peppercorns. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

8. Return the fish fillets and scallops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and gently warm for 2-3 minutes.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
