Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides with sea salt. Put the fillets on a plate until you’re ready to cook.
Add the avocado oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high. Carefully place the cod on the hot skillet flesh-side down (if your cod doesn’t have skin, no worries...either side will work).
Cook 3 minutes, until the cod is slightly golden brown. Carefully flip using a spatula (the cod is very tender and will likely break if you aren’t gentle) and cook another 3 minutes
Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet and gently stir them around. Cover the skillet and bring to a full but gentle boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is very fragrant and the cod flakes easily when poked with a fork, about 10 to 15 minutes. Note: if you have the time, you can simmer the cod over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes for an even more flavorful sauce.
Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
