Ingredients

  1. cod fillet - watch the video to see (dried before cooking)
  2. salt - to taste
  3. pepper - to taste
  4. oil - watch the video to see (for the pan)
  5. butter - watch the video to see (or lemon juice, for basting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cod: Dry off your cod fillet and season lightly.
  2. Sear the Cod: Lay the cod face down in a hot pan with oil, applying a tiny bit of weight to ensure even contact. Sear until a golden crust forms.
  3. Oven Finish: After searing, take the rawness off the bottom of the cod, then transfer to a preheated oven. Cook for 2 minutes at a moderate temperature.
  4. Rest and Serve: Baste the cod with butter or lemon juice, let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then season with salt and pepper before serving.
