My cod recipe combines lemon and zaatar to make crusted, pan fried fish in under 15 minutes. Flavorful, flaky, and so easy to make.

Ingredients
- 16 oz cod filets fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 3 tbsp zaatar
- 3 tbsp olive oil plus more for frying
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Wash and pat fry the cod filets. Pat dry with paper towel and season with some salt. Set aside.
- In a small dish mix together the zaatar and olive oil. Zest the lemon and add to the mix and the juice from half the lemon. Stir and using a brush, coat each side of the filets and let rest 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. Fry the cod filets for 6-7 minutes on one side, carefully turn over and cook another 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness. There should be a golden brown zaatar crust on the fish.
- Serve with remaining lemon half squeezed over cod and a salad of choice.
