Name: [Recipe] Butter poached cod with a carrot horseradish topping
Prep time: 12 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 22 min
Ingredients: 1.5 pounds of cod (cut into even pieces (about 2 by 3 inches)); 1 cup of salted butter; 1/4 cup of dill-rough chop; 1/3 cup of lemon juice; 1 cup of grated carrot; 1 tsp of prepared horseradish; 1 tsp of dill-chopped finely

Butter poached fish is easy to make and the fish comes out tender, and infused with the butter flavour. I used Icelandic cod in this recipe that I picked up at a local fish market, but feel free to use Pacific/Atlantic cod, halibut or another meaty fish.

The topping does not need to be cooked and surprisingly does not overpower the fish with the horseradish, and gives the dish a real kick. The dish is perfect on a bed of rice.

Another awesome thing is that this dish can be on your table in less than 30 minutes. Happy eating!
