Pan Fried Cod

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds cod (4 fillets)
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (also called pimentón)*
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ⅛ teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil, for dairy-free)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Finely chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and kosher salt. Pat the cod dry and sprinkle all sides with the seasoning.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When butter is melted, add the cod and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Flip the cod and pour the lemon juice over the fish. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the cod is tender and starts to flake when you prick it with a fork (adjust based on the thickness of the fillets). Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately, drizzled with the juices from the pan.
