Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by sprinkling the cod filets with crushed mustard seeds, gently pressing them into the fish. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in peas, season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until tender.
  3. Transfer about 3/4 cup of cooked peas into a food processor. Add 2/3 cup half-and-half and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and gently reheat in a saucepan over low heat.
  4. In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated cod filets for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Season lightly with salt.
  5. Serve by placing a generous dollop of warm pea purée on each plate, topping it with a cod filet and drizzling the pea sauce over it. Garnish with freshly chopped dill.
