About the Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon milk, or more as needed

  • 4 (6 ounce) cod filets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preparation

Step 1


For lemon aioli: Stir mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated garlic together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin to a drizzling consistency with milk.


Step 2


For fish: Pat fish dry with a paper towel. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of cod with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.


Step 3


Add cod to the hot skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides and fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plates, and serve with lemon aioli.
