Step 1
Pat the 4 cod fillets dry and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the cod and cook until golden and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Pour in the 0.5 cup heavy cream and the juice of the 0.5 lemon. Simmer, scraping up browned bits, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Return the cod to the skillet, spoon the sauce over, and cook 1 minute more until warmed through.
Step 5
Serve the cod with the cream sauce spooned on top and scattered with the 1 cup microgreens.
