Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Cod
Ingredients (Serves 2-3):
- 2-3 cod fillets (or any white fish like haddock or halibut)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for extra richness)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme (or use fresh herbs like parsley or dill)
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Fish:
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the dried oregano or thyme.
-
Sear the Fish:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the cod fillets (skin-side down if applicable) and cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to allow a golden crust to form.
- Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
-
Make the Lemon Herb Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter (if using) and minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the remaining herbs. Cook for 1 minute to let the flavors meld.
-
Serve:
- Spoon the lemon herb sauce over the cod fillets. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Serve warm.
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed cauliflower, or a fresh green salad for a complete gluten-free meal.
