Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat until shimmering. Season the cod with salt and pepper and place presentation-side-down in the hot skillet. Cook without moving until the fish takes on a nice golden crust and lifts easily from the spatula, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip fish with a thin metal spatula and cook on second side until cooked through, about 1 minute longer.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Fish on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Loveblock Pinot Gris. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.
