Ingredients
Scale
Cod
- 1.5 lb cod fillet pieces, 4–6 pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Lemon Sauce
- 5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
For Coating
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground coriander, sweet Spanish paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Pat the cod pieces dry. Coat each piece evenly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Arrange the coated cod pieces in a suitable baking dish or pan.
- Add the prepared lemon-garlic sauce according to the recipe, distributing the sauce around and over the cod.
- Bake until the cod is cooked through, opaque, tender, and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish with the chopped fresh parsley and spoon some of the lemon-garlic sauce over the cod when serving.
Notes
- Pat the cod dry before coating it so the seasoned flour adheres evenly.
- Mix the flour and spices thoroughly to distribute the coriander, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper evenly.
- Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the cod pieces. Cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
