Seared Cod with Fresh Herb Sauce

4 cod filets;
1 tbsp. chives, minced;
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced;
1 tbsp. fresh thyme;
2 garlic cloves, minced;
1 shallot, minced;
The zest of half a lemon;
3/4 cup of coconut milk;
6 tbsp. ghee or butter, melted;
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper;

Preheat your oven to 400 F.

Season each filet with sea salt and black pepper;

In bowl, combine the ghee, garlic, shallot, and herbs.

Preheat a skillet over a medium-high heat.

Pour the herb butter over the skillet and sear the fish filets on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).

Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 7 minutes. Don’t discard the skillet.

Pour the coconut milk and the lemon zest in the skillet that was used to sear the fish and bring to a simmer: make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to get the browned bits into the sauce.

Serve the fish with the sauce and lemon or lime wedges on the side.
