COD PICCADA WITH SAUTEED BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put the cod fillet in a baking dish and drizzle over the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes or until it's completely white and flakes apart.
• In a small saucepan set over medium heat add 1/2 teaspoon of the butter until it melts. Pour in the lemon juice, add the capers and the sugar. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoon of butter, garlic and parsley. Stir until the butter melts. Return to heat for just a minute and pour in the cornstarch mixture until it thickens. Remove from heat and season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
• In a medium skillet set over medium to high heat, add the olive oil, garlic and brussel sprouts. Stir for a minute and let them cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and remove from heat.
• Serve the cod on top of the brussel sprouts and pour over the sauce. Serve immediately.
