In a blender or bowl of a food processor, combine chives, parsley, cilantro, and olive oil into a thick paste. Remove cod from plastic wrap. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess salt and moisture. Cut cod into four portions. Transfer to a baking dish, and coat with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove excess marinade from cod, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. When the oil is hot, add cod. Shake pan to make sure the fillets are not sticking. Add butter, a little at a time, shaking the pan so that the butter slides under the cod and combines with the oil. Saute until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to oven, and roast until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately over corn pudding, and garnish with red-pepper coulis.
