Cooking Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, paprika, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle and spread flour mixture over both sides of the cod fillets (use up all of the mixture).
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add cod and sear until golden brown and cooked through on each side, about 3 - 4 minutes per side (fish should flake easily with a fork when done). Transfer to serving plates.
- Reduce burner temperature to medium-low. Melt remaining 4 tablespoon butter in same skillet.
- Add garlic and saute just until fragrant and just lightly deepened in color (but not browned), about 15 seconds.
- Remove from heat and carefully pour and stir in chicken broth and lemon juice (careful it will steam!).
- Immediately pour sauce over cod fillets. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
