Tender Cod Fillets infused with zesty lemon and rich butter flavours.

Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

4 each cod fillets, skin removed
5 tbsp 100% grass fed grass finished butter - sea salted
1 1/2 tbsp Organic Chicken Stock
1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
3/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method

In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, paprika, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to blend well.
Sprinkle flour mixture over both sides of the cod fillets (use up all of the mixture) - be sure it is spread evenly.
Melt 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add cod fillets to pan and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3 - 4 minutes per side (fish should flake easily with a fork when done). Transfer to serving plates.
Reduce burner temperature to medium-low. Melt remaining 4 tbsp butter in same skillet.
Add garlic and saute just until fragrant and slightly deepened in color (but not browned), about 15 seconds.
Remove from heat and carefully pour and stir in chicken broth and lemon juice (careful it will steam!).
Immediately pour sauce over cod fillets. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
