cod piccata recipe

A lighter version of the classic Italian piccata recipe using cod filets. Dredged in almond flour for a gluten-free spin and pan-fried until flaky and tender.

Cod Piccata

almond flour

salt

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

butter

shallot (minced)

garlic (minced)

capers (drained)

chicken broth

lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

parsley (for garnish)

lemon (for garnish)

Rinse cod and pat dry.

Combine almond flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or dish.

Dredge cod filets in the mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Set aside.

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

Once hot, add the cod and cook until browned on each side, flipping carefully. Transfer cod to a clean dish and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.

Once melted, add the shallots, garlic and capers. Cook for 1 minute.

Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes until reduced. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Gently place the cod back into the skillet and spoon the piccata sauce over top of the filets. Cook for another minute until the cod is warmed through.

Remove from the heat, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.

It was delicious! I was dining alone tonight, so I adjusted the ingredients for one, but I might’ve given myself a little extra butter! I loved it and look forward to making it again for two or more friends. It was light but flavorful and easy to put together.

Absolutely LOVED this. I used ground sunflower seed meal in place of almond flour (due to allergies), and it worked great.

Used a freshly caught cod and it was soooo good!  It was tangy, delicious and bursting with flavors! Must-try!

Not only was this so easy to make and packed with flavor, it was also beautiful on the plate.  We loved it!  Gorgeous meal for company.
