Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cod fillets
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat butter in a skillet
- Start by heating 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. This will create the perfect base for your cod fillets.
- Sauté garlic
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
- Season and cook the cod fillets
- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place them gently in the skillet. Allow them to cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until they achieve a golden brown crust.
- Add lemon and butter
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the cooked fillets. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and let it melt, creating a luscious sauce that complements the fish perfectly.
- Garnish and serve
- Finally, garnish the fish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. This adds a fresh, herbaceous note to the dish.
