Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, melt butter, and swirl to coat. Add cod, and do not move the pieces until it is time to flip them over. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Carefully remove the filets from the skillet with a spatula to a serving plate.

Mock Mincemeat Pie
My mother made this mock mincemeat pie recipe every Thanksgiving. Enhanced with a hint of orange, cinnamon, and cloves, it's a great variation on the typical apple and raisin filling. It's called "mock" because it contains no meat. You can prepare the filling several days in advance. For extra flavor, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy into the filling, if you like.

Velvety Chicken Corn Soup
This is a quick and easy way to make this soup that is usually served at Chinese restaurants. For a tangy/hot flavor try this: about 3 to 4 hours before serving combine 1/4 cup vinegar and 3 finely chopped green chilies. Refrigerate until serving time and then sprinkle about a teaspoon of this on the soup. Enjoy!! Garnish with fresh scallions.
