Instructions
- Prepare the cod:
- Pat the fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat with flour, shaking off excess.
- Pan-fry the cod:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cod fillets and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F / 63°C).
- Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Make the lemon butter sauce:
- In the same skillet, add butter and garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in lemon juice and zest.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
- Serve:
- Pour the lemon butter sauce over the cod fillets.
- Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad.
✨ Tip: For an extra touch, drizzle a little more fresh lemon juice right before serving and sprinkle with extra parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
