Pan Fried Cod (simple, but delicious)

salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

all-purpose flour

paprika

dill (dill weed)

onion powder

cayenne pepper

olive oil (1 tablespoon per batch)

butter (1 tablespoon per batch)

chopped dill

Tartar sauce

Lemon wedges

Season cod fillets with some salt and black pepper.

In a small dish or on a plate, mix together flour with paprika, dill, onion powder and cayenne pepper.

Dredge each cod fillet in the flour mixture, lightly coating, and shaking off excess flour.

To cook cod fillets, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.Note: Cook fish in batches as to not overcrowd pan. For each batch, add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Place cod fillets in skillet and cook 3 to 5 minutes on one side.

Carefully flip the cod fillets to the other side (be gentle, as the fillets are delicate) and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Transfer cooked cod fillets to a plate. You can sprinkle with a little more salt, if you wish.Note: Cook time may vary, depending on the thickness of your fillets.

Repeat process to cook remaining cod fillets.

Garnish with dill and serve with lemon and tartar sauce (if desired) or enjoy as is.
