Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, (4-6 pieces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Selecting the Right Fish: Choose a firm-fleshed fish like salmon, cod, or tilapia that can withstand the baking process without becoming dry.
Preparing the Fish: Pat the fish dry before baking to ensure crispy skin and even cooking. Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper inside and out for maximum flavor.
Garlic Butter: Use a generous amount of garlic butter to coat the fish. This will enhance the flavor and create a golden-brown crust.
Baking Temperature: Bake the fish at a high temperature initially (425°F) to sear the skin and lock in the juices, then reduce the heat to finish cooking gently.
Lemon Slices: Adding lemon slices to the baking dish infuses the fish with a refreshing citrus flavor and helps prevent it from drying out.
Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley into the garlic butter or sprinkle them on top of the fish before baking for an aromatic touch.
Cooking Time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for most fish.
