Ready in under 30 minutes this will soon become your go-to cod recipe for busy weeknight meals. When I cook fish I like it to be fresh, bright, and tasty. This recipe for garlic butter cod is a favorite of mine, I mean you can’t go wrong with garlic, butter, and fresh cod fillets can you? Impress your family and guests with this incredibly easy dinner! It’s made with just a handful of ingredients, which makes it perfect for those busy weeknights.
Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high until the oil shimmers in the pan (but not so hot that it starts to smoke). When buying frozen cod fillets, avoid packs with signs of ice crystals, freezer burn, or frost. This may mean the fish has been in the freezer a long time or it’s been thawed and refrozen. Or to quickly thaw fish, place it into a zip lock bag (removing as much air as possible from the bag) and place it into a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes (be sure to switch out the water if it gets to room temperature). This method also works well with shrimp. If you’re in the mood for shrimp instead, try my Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe or my delicious Shrimp Scampi Recipe. Reduce heat to medium and place fillets in the pan, skinned side down. Gently press each fillet on a spatula for 5 seconds to ensure good contact with the pan. Cook the fillets without moving them until the underside is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the cod and add the butter. Cook a further 3 to 4 minutes, basting with the butter (the butter will brown). When the fish is fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F/62°C, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Remove from the pan add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if needed. Serve the butter sauce over the cod. Enjoy! To be absolutely sure, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should read 145°F/63°C.
