Pan-Fried Cod Recipe (Tips for Cooking Cod)
Description
Pan-fried cod fillets are seasoned generously with garlic parsley salt and cooked in unsalted butter over medium heat. Cooking until golden brown on one side before flipping develops a delicate crust that contrasts with the tender, flaky interior of the fish. Lemon juice added at the end adds acidity that brightens the flavor, while chopped green onions provide a fresh, subtle sharpness.
The technique keeps the cod moist without overcooking, relying on gentle heat and butter for flavor. This preparation suits a simple dinner or can accompany salads, rice, or vegetables.
Serving immediately after finishing ensures the fillets maintain their texture and temperature, preserving the contrast between crisp edges and soft flesh.
Ingredients
- 2 lb cod fillet
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet with butter on a medium heat.
- Season cod generously on all sides. Add the fillets to the skillet. Cook until it's golden brown, then turn it over.
- Sprinkle the cod with lemon juice and green onions. Serve it right away.
