Equipment

Large frying pan

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium cod fillets
½ teaspoon salt
2 large cloves garlic sliced or chopped
½ whole lemon Zest
½ whole lemon Juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
ground black pepper optional

Instructions

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and once hot, add the cod fillets and sprinkle with sea salt. Cook for 3 minutes on the first side.
After about 2 minutes of cooking, add the garlic and the lemon zest around the cod in the olive oil and allow to cook gently with the fish. Stir the garlic frequently to prevent burning. Turn the fish over, moving it around the pan to take on some of the garlic and lemon zest. Cook for 3 more minutes on the other side.
Finish by drizzling the fish with the lemon juice and sprinkling it liberally with fresh parsley. Serve while hot with favourite vegetables or a salad.
