Bacalao crujiente a la sartén

Ingredientes

• 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Flaky sea salt for finishing

Preparación

1. 1

   Remove cod fillets from the fridge 10 minutes before cooking and pat completely dry with paper towels on both sides.

2. 2

   Mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge each fillet through the mixture and shake off excess.

3. 3

   Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Place fillets in the pan carefully. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until edges look opaque halfway up.

5. 5

   Flip once, add butter to the pan, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Squeeze fresh lemon over the top, scatter parsley, and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
