DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Pat fish fillets dry and season with salt. Lightly brush the fillets with white wine and let rest at room temperature while you prepare the sauce. 
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, simmer the leeks, wine, lemon, thyme, mint and a pinch of salt together until most of the liquid has evaporated, 15-20 minutes. Add blackberries, butter, honey and cook until the sauce turns pink, 2-4 minutes. 
  4. Place black cod on your baking sheet and spoon the berry mixture over each fillet. Season with pepper and bake for 12-14 minutes.
