    • Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil together. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Cod: Place the seasoned cod fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Gently flip the fillets, pour in lemon juice, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
