Steps:
- Preheat the broiler on the oven. Pat the cod with a paper towel, then season both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a cast iron or oven-proof skillet that is no bigger than 12 inches. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
- Place the cod fillets in the pan and cook for 1 minute, then carefully turn them over.
- Place the skillet in the oven about 4-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the internal temperature of the cod reaches 130-140°F on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion of a fillet.
- Garnish with the parsley and extra lemon slices, if desired, and serve.

BROILED FISH WITH LEMON CURRY BUTTER
Broiled fish fillets topped with a little butter and a squirt of lemon is a quick, easy weeknight staple. But when the butter is spiked with plenty of garlic, a jolt of curry powder and piquant fresh ginger, then brightened with fresh herbs, it becomes a superb, company-worthy dish that still cooks in under 10 minutes flat. Use your favorite fish here; any mild fillet will allow the buttery sauce to shine.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
- Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

BROILED FISH
Mother's secret in preparing this dish was to butter the fish before dusting it with flour. That seals in the moisture and makes the fish so succulent. -Ann Berg, Chesapeake, Virginia

Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: For best results, use a firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, halibut, or cod. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or flounder, as they tend to fall apart when broiled.
- Season & Marinate: Before broiling, season the fish with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can also marinate the fish for 30 minutes to an hour to infuse it with additional flavor.
- Use High Heat: Broil the fish on high heat for a short time to achieve a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Watch the Fish Closely: Keep a close eye on the fish while it's broiling to prevent it from overcooking. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets or steaks.
- Garnish & Serve: Garnish the broiled fish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Broiled fish is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy fish. By following these simple tips, you can achieve perfectly cooked broiled fish every time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, broiled fish is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by all.
