1
In a small bowl, evenly combine smoked paprika, dried onion flakes, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper to create your blackened seasoning.
2
Using a paper towel, ensure the cod fillets are thoroughly dry.
3
Gently brush each side of the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4
Next, evenly coat both sides of the cod fillets with the blackened seasoning, ensuring to shake off any excess spices.
5
Lightly drizzle honey over the cod fillets.
6
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
7
Place the seasoned cod fillets in the skillet, sear for 3-5 minutes, or until the spices begin to form a dark crust.
8
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cod is thoroughly cooked and easily flakes with a fork.
9
Before serving, sprinkle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the cooked fillets. Garnish with chopped parsley for extra freshness.
