Ingredients

cod-

  • 1 1/2 lbs cod fillets
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, sliced

seasoning-

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¾ tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
  • few lemon slices, drizzle for serving

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients for the seasoning in a small bowl.
  • Cut cod into smaller pieces, if desired. Season all sides of the cod with the seasoning.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once butter melts, add cod to skillet. Cook 2 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Gently flip the cod. Top with remaining butter and cook another 3-4 minutes. 
  • Butter will completely melt and the fish will cook. (Don’t overcook the cod, it will become mushy and completely fall apart.)
  • Drizzle cod with fresh lemon juice and herbs. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy, friends.
