Notes

  • Pro Tip: If you want extra crispy sprouts, place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. Tossing the sprouts onto a hot pan jumpstarts the caramelization process.
  • Substitution: If cod is unavailable, halibut or sea bass work beautifully with this specific lemon-cream flavor profile.
  • Sauce Consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of pasta water or vegetable broth to reach your desired silkiness.
