Notes

For the crispiest cod, make sure your skillet is hot enough and don't overcrowd it, cooking in batches if necessary. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently to preserve texture. If you want to elevate the dish, drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the plated cod right before serving. Adjust the sauce seasoning to taste, and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for brightness. Enjoy with crusty bread or a simple salad on the side!
