Cod in sesame

2 servings

60 minutes

Sesame cod is a refined dish of European cuisine where tender white cod fillet gains an appetizing golden crust thanks to sesame seeds. Cod is known for its mild flavor and subtle sea aroma, beautifully complemented by the light acidity of lemon juice. Fried in a crispy coating, it becomes incredibly juicy inside and crunchy outside. This dish pairs perfectly with fresh vegetables, light yogurt-based sauces, or soy sauce. The simplicity of preparation makes it a versatile option for both everyday dinners and festive tables. Sesame adds nutty notes and extra texture to the dish, turning cod into a true culinary delight.
