Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Season the cod fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides. Set aside.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden (do not burn the garlic).
Lower the heat and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and combine with the garlic and olive oil.
Place the seasoned cod fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on one side without flipping, allowing the underside to develop a golden crust.
Carefully flip the cod fillets and drizzle lemon juice over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the cod with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
