Pan-Seared Cod is a quick, healthy dinner that’s ready in under 15 minutes. With a golden, crispy crust and flaky, tender interior, this simple cod recipe is perfect for weeknight meals. Serve it with vegetables, rice, or salad for a light, flavorful dish the whole family will love.
Directions
- Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels (this helps achieve a golden crust).
- Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
- Place cod fillets in the skillet, presentation side down.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, without moving, until a golden crust forms.
- Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temp ~130°F).
- Transfer cod to plates, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with parsley.
- Pair with roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
