Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the cod dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, ground coriander, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter. Add minced garlic, stirring well.
Dip each piece of cod into the lemon-garlic mixture, then dredge in the flour-spice mix.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated cod for 2 minutes on each side.
Pour the remaining lemon-garlic sauce over the seared cod.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until opaque and flaky.
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with roasted veggies or salad.
