Pat the cod dry before frying. A dry surface gives better browning and less liquid in the sauce afterward.
Did you know?
Cod in sour cream sauce is a classic combination because the mild fish handles a creamy and slightly tangy sauce well. Leek adds gentle onion sweetness, while lemon makes the sauce fresher. When the fish poaches briefly in the sauce, it stays juicy.
