Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 teaspoons unsalted butter cold
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 4-ounce cod fillets
4 shallots peeled and minced
2 cups red wine
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons port
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

Heat 1 teaspoon of the butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cod and sauté just until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, turning the cod carefully with a wide spatula. Remove the cod to a plate and keep warm.
Place the shallots in the skillet and sauté until softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and port. Cook for 1 minute longer. Cut the remaining teaspoon of butter into small pieces and whisk it into the sauce. Season with the salt and pepper. Strain.
Spoon the sauce into the center of 4 plates. Top with a cod fillet and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
