Pan-fried Cod

If you are looking for a simple and healthy recipe that is also delicious, this pan-fried cod is the perfect option. The crispy and golden exterior of the fish gives a nice contrast to the soft and flaky texture of the meat inside.

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets, about 6 oz each
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated, shaking off any excess flour.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the fillets in a single layer (cook in batches if needed), and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
5. Transfer the cod to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.

Verdict:

This recipe is a great option when you want to serve a healthy fish dish that is also easy to make. The combination of flour and spices gives the cod a nice crispy crust, while the meat stays tender and flaky. You can serve this dish with a side of steamed veggies or a green salad to complete a healthy and satisfying meal.
