TOTAL TIME
1
Pat cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the cod fillets with sea salt and black pepper.
2
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until foaming subsides.
3
Place the seasoned cod fillets in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until flaky and lightly golden.
4
Place the cooked fillets on a warm plate and reduce the heat on the skillet to low.
5
In the same skillet, add minced garlic, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Don't let it brown as that means it's burnt and will taste bitter.
6
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finely grated lemon zest to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted.
7
Pour the lemon-butter sauce over the pan-seared cod fillets and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
