Garlic Herb Cod Strips With Creamy Lemon Sauce
  1. Season the Cod: Pat the cod dry and season gently with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. The surface should look dry and ready to sear, not wet.

  2. Sear to Golden: Heat olive oil and butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Lay the cod strips in carefully and let them cook undisturbed until a golden crust forms.

  3. Turn with Care: Flip once, slowly, letting the second side color while the fish stays soft and flaky inside.

  4. Build the Garlic Base: Lower the heat slightly and add minced garlic. Stir gently until fragrant, just a few seconds—never browned.

  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the cream, stirring slowly as it warms. The sauce should thicken softly, coating the pan like silk.

  6. Brighten with Lemon: Add lemon zest and juice, tasting as you go. The sauce should feel rich but lively, never sharp.

  7. Finish and Rest: Spoon sauce over the cod, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let everything rest for a minute before serving.
