This recipe works well with many types of fish. Mahi mahi, pollock, haddock, sole, flounder, sea bass, and halibut make perfect substitutes; just reduce cooking times for thinner fillets.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons

10 ounces wiped clean and sliced about 1/8" thick

4 medium cloves minced

1/2 cup

3-1/2 tablespoons chopped

1 tablespoon

1/2 teaspoon more to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground, more to taste

4 6 ounce skinless


Directions

1) In a heavy 12-inch skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring only occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes. 2) Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 45 seconds. 3) Add the vermouth, 3 tablespoons of the parsley, the vinegar, salt, and pepper and boilb until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. 4) Remove the pan from the heat, lightly season the cod with salt and pepper and add it to the pan (tuck under the tails if necessary to even out the thickness), nestling the fillets into the mushrooms and spooning some of mushrooms on top. 5) Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cover the pan, reduce to medium low, and simmer until just cooked through (use the tip of a paring knife to check) 7 to 12 minutes depending on thickness. 6) With a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to serving plates or a platter. Over low heat, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of parsley.
