Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Pat the cod fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Removing excess moisture helps the fish sear better and prevents sticking.
2
Season both sides of the cod fillets generously with salt and black pepper.
Ca. 1 min.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Ca. 2 min.
4
Carefully place the cod fillets skin-side down (if applicable) into the hot skillet.
5
Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown, or the bottom is nicely browned.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Avoid moving the fish during this time to allow a good crust to form.
6
Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Ca. 4 min.
Kokkens note: Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
7
Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ghee to the same skillet.
Ca. 1 min.
9
Add the minced garlic to the melted ghee and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
10
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
11
Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the cooked cod fillets.
12
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
