Pan- Seared Wild Black Cod

Wild Black Cod, similar in texture and flavor to sea bass, is completely sustainable and the perfect fish to pan-sear . It is one of go to fish dishes. Perfect pairing of my DivineKuizine remoulade sauce and fresh squeeze lemon. I paired the pan-seared black cod fish with saute spinach, but really any greens work. This fatty fish can handle high heat and stays moist and buttery on the inside even with a hearty crust on the outside. The texture and flavor is unparalleled. This simple dish is quick and easy for a weeknight dinner yet noble enough for friends and family get together.
