Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium. Stir. Add the cod pieces on top, side by side. Cover and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.

Step 8

Uncover and use a spoon to flip over each piece of the cod. Add the rest of the ¼ cup of water to the pan.

Step 9

Add green onion and green chili pepper. Cover and cook another 5 minutes over medium heat.

Step 10

Open the lid and scoop some liquid from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over top.
