- Season the Fish: Pat the cod fillets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. 🐟✨
- Sizzle: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil and sear the cod for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Remove from the pan. 🍳🔥
- The Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and oregano. 🧈🧄🍋
- Combine: Toss the cod back into the sauce to coat it beautifully. 🤤
- Assemble: Build your bowls with a base of rice or quinoa, top with the crispy Brussels sprouts and the garlic butter cod. Pour any extra sauce from the pan right over the top! 🍚🐟🌊
💡 Pro-Tip:
Cod is a very delicate fish, so use a wide spatula to flip it gently to keep those beautiful fillets intact! 🧤🐟
