Lemon Butter Cod Recipe

For the Lemon Butter Mixture:

3 TB salted butter, softened to room temp

1 TB chives

2 TB garlic

TB shallots

tsp kosher salt

tsp freshly black pepper

juice lemon

TB grated lemon peel

For the Fish:

(1-inch thick each) cod fillets, about 4 ounces each

kosher salt and black pepper

Place cod in colander and let sit to drain and get closer to room temperature, while you prepare rest of ingredients.

In a small pan, combine all Lemon Butter Mixture ingredients and stir to fully combine. Set aside.

Use paper towels to pat-dry all excess moisture from the fish fillets. This step is important, so be sure to pat off as much moisture as you can (extra moisture from fish will dilute flavors and steam the fish rather than brown it.)

Evenly sprinkle both sides of fillets with pinches of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Once oil is sizzling hot, add fish fillets to pan (you may want to do 2 at a time to avoid crowding) and cover with lid ajar, allowing steam to escape. Cook until browned on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Do not move fish around.

Use a thin but wide metal spatula to gently flip fish fillets over to the other side for another 3-4 minutes just until nicely browned and center is just-cooked. The key to tender fish is to avoid overcooking.If your fillets are less than 1-inch thick, shorten cook time.

While your last fish fillets are cooking, heat up small pan of prepared lemon-garlic mixture over medium-high, stirring just until bubbly. Immediately turn heat off and keep warm.

Once fish is done, plate fillets and spoon lemon butter mixture over the fish, including any leftover juices from your frying pan. Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy.

Lemon Garlic Swordfish

Pan-Fried Cod is a delicious, family-friendly recipe that is perfect for a quick and easy dinner any night of the week. Cod fillets are coated in a seasoned flour mixture, then quickly fried in a skillet.

Pan-Fried Cod

cod (*

flour

parsley

salt (*

pepper (*

Pat the cod dry with paper towels.

Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk well. In a second bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Dip each fish fillet into the egg, letting the excess drip off before transferring it to the seasoned flour mixture. Press the fish into the flour mixture, then flip to coat the other side. Transfer to a plate.

Fill a skillet about a half an inch high with oil over medium-high heat. The oil needs to be hot before adding the fish or the flour may come off. To test the oil, sprinkle a few drops of water over it. If it sizzles, it’s ready.

Add the cod in a single layer and cook for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip gently with a fish spatula, if you have one.

Cook an additional 2-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Cod is done when it’s opaque, flaky and the internal temperature of the thickest portion reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil before serving.

Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with a squeeze a lemon or cocktail sauce, if you prefer.

I tried this tonight. To be honest it wasn’t my taste. We gAve it a C grade. It was edible but to our bold for our individual taste. I just found your website today &amp; love it. I look forward to trying another recipe. I’m sure the next one will be an A. Tough to have a slow start but much looks good here and easily doable.

Tried this last week. Was really delicious

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! The spices were splendid and it all came together nicely.

I tried this tonight and we really liked it.  Simple, very tasty and different from my usual tomato/caper/vinegar preparation.  My only caution is that if you half the recipe like I did, and use 2 individual filets, adjust the amount of seasoning you use, because the recipe is for 1.5 lb of fish, and my filets were only 4 oz. each.  It actually still tasted good, but it was too much salt for that smaller amount of fish.  Looking forward to trying other recipes!

I made the pan fried cod last night, it was so good, I'm making it again tonight. I had a few variations, though. I added more onion, garlic and smoked paprika, I substituted crushed fennel seed for the celery seed (didn't have any) and lime juice for the lemon juice. It took longer than 2 minutes too, Even though it was slightly frozen, the thick part took about 5 minutes per side. Great recipe though, it's a keeper.

Very easy to make. Turned out perfect and the kids loved it!

This was absolutely amazing and beautifully presented with Italian green beans and crap cakes.
