3
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
4
Place the all-purpose flour in another shallow bowl and lightly dredge each fish fillet, shaking off any excess flour.
5
Dip the dredged fish fillets in the lemon and spice mixture, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining lemon and spice mixture for later.
6
Heat 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet or an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Sear the coated fish fillets in the heated skillet for 2 minutes on each side to develop a light crust, then remove the skillet from heat.

Drizzle the reserved lemon and spice mixture over the fish fillets in the skillet.

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Check the fish periodically to avoid overcooking.
