Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Season fish with garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Pour oil into a large oven-proof skillet to coat the bottom of the pan (about 2 tablespoons). Heat over medium heat. Add butter, let it melt.
- Place fish in the oil and butter, skin side down. Cook until bottom is lightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
- Use a spatula to gently turn the fish over.
- Place skillet in the oven and bake for about 8 more minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, and serve.
Notes
- When pan-searing the fish, toss some minced garlic cloves with butter and olive oil for added flavor.
- You can skip the pan-searing step altogether and just toss the seasoned fish right into the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking the fish after about 10 minutes.
- Make a garlicky lemon butter sauce to pour over the fish! Mix 1/4th cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1-2 teaspoons of minced garlic, then pour or brush it over the fish before baking.
- After searing, fish can be baked in a baking dish, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or in an oven-safe skillet.
- For added flavor, place sliced lemons on top of the cod while it bakes to infuse the fillets with even more citrusy lemon flavor.
- Garnish the finished lemon garlic cod with your favorite herbs – fresh dill, dried or fresh parsley, rosemary, or thyme are all great options.
- Cooking Just for Two? You can easily cut all ingredients in half and cook about 3/4 lb. of fish. The cooking process and time will remain the same.
