Number Of Ingredients 9

2.5-pound boneless, skinless cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon mustard seeds, lightly crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen, thawed peas
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2/3 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons olive oil
roughly chopped fresh dill, to garnish

Steps:

Sprinkle cod evenly with mustard seeds and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Meanwhile, heat butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peas, 1 cup water, and salt and black pepper, and cover partially with lid; cook until sauce is reduced, about 10 minutes. Set sauce aside and keep warm. Purée 3/4 cup peas, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper in a food processor; transfer to a 2-quart saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod; cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Season with salt. Divide pea purée among 6 serving plates and top with cod; spoon over sauce and garnish with dill.
