Lemon Pan-Seared Cod Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 9g Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning
  • 2 whole cod fillets (about 150g each), skin-on, cleaned and patted dry
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Cod:
  • Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and 5g of the Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Pan-Sear the Cod:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cod fillets, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Prepare the Lemon Sauce:
  • While the cod is cooking, in a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Finish and Serve:
  • Remove the cod fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Spoon the lemon sauce over the top of the cod fillets.
  • Garnish with thinly sliced lemon and chopped fresh parsley.
  • Serve immediately, enjoying the tender, flaky cod with the bright, zesty lemon sauce.
Enjoy your delicious Lemon Pan-Seared Cod!
