You Will Love this Cod with Garlic Aioli

1. PREPARE THE COD

   Rinse the cod fillets under cold running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Check for any small bones and remove them if necessary. Place the fillets on a clean plate or cutting board, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and rub it evenly to coat.

   Tip: Drying the fillets thoroughly helps them sear properly and ensures a crispy texture on the outside.

1. PREPARE THE GARLIC AIOLI

   Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press for a smoother texture. Combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining olive oil. Whisk the mixture until it emulsifies into a creamy consistency. Set the aioli aside for later use.

   Tip: Letting the aioli rest for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld beautifully for a more robust garlic taste.

1. SEAR THE COD

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer, skin side down if the skin is intact. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip the fillets and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cooked cod from the skillet and place it on a serving platter.

   Tip: Avoid flipping the cod too early or too often to prevent it from breaking apart.

1. SERVE

   Drizzle the prepared garlic aioli over the seared cod fillets, spreading it lightly with the back of a spoon if desired. Sprinkle chopped parsley generously over the top for a fresh flavor and vibrant color. For an extra touch of citrus, serve with lemon wedges on the side.

   Tip: Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the cod while it’s hot and the aioli at its freshest.
