The sugar is a restaurant trick. I use a carbon steel or cast iron pan, very hot to get the fish almost dancing in the oil. Once the fish is almost showing flecks of blackening, flip, and remove the hot pan from the fire. Turn fire down to med/low/low. Pour in 1/4 cp hot water, cover the pan and return to fire. Water will gently steam the rest of the process and the result is moist perfection.

I like cod. I have never tried this method of cooking it. I will try it and the relish. Thanks for sharing.

Just made the relish. I won't be cooking the fish until this evening. There may not be any relish left by then! It's so delicious I've been eating it right out of the bowl. This recipe is a keeper.

The Cod turned out beautifully from start to finish. I've never been good at making a Cod dish before but always wanted to make it correctly. This recipe looks to be my ticket for finally achieving that. 😋. Thanks for sharing it.

Bridgette, Julia, & Becky have been helping me to become a better cook since I was a teen ❤

I air fry Costco frozen wild caught cod fillets at 400 for 6 minutes per side. Top with Wishbone Balsamic Vinaigrette for a satisfying healthy meal. Your relish accompanied browned & oven cooked cod does look delicious. Maybe someday, I’ll give it a try. Just have to work on the ambition first. Nice YT presentation!

Cod is my favorite! Can wait to try this! Thank You Ladies!

Been craving a fish dish! Thanks for a quick and light recipe that I can make this week, ladies. Looks so delicious! 🍽

This was beautiful.. that relish you could use on an old shoe and it would taste good lol
You know the old thing, you can use this on chicken, fish, pork, etc.
But that cod looks so fresh and beautiful when you have fresh ingredients you really don't need to do much to it. It speaks for itself.
Thank you for yet another wonderful recipe ATK ❤

Love you girls!! Every time I watch a new episode I get hungry and hafta hit the kitch!!

I learned something new. The sugar on the cod for one. The second is flipping the cod once and then finishing it in the oven for two. Because cod is so delicate, it minimizes the flipping to just once.

Cod is such a great fish! I like how it has nice big flakes so you can easily find any bones it might have.
I think I would just do the whole cook on the stove in cast iron. 🤔

I can't be the first person to say this, but Becky is a dead ringer for Kristen Wiig's Target cashier character (in the most flattering way, of course!). 🙂

[toddwynia]

That looks fabulous. Great technique to use for us home cooks. Thanks!

[mgfroyo]

This looks so good. I have some sea bass fillets that thickness in the freezer and I think I'll have to try this recipe out with them!

[jeraldbaxter]

Thank you, Bridgette and thank you, Becky, aka the Codmother! You have made me a dish I can not refuse!😉

Looks as yummy as it seems easy. I'm going to get that recipe down right now.

I panfry my fish alot. I also like my simple bake recipe of stewed tomatoes, fish, and feta cheese. Spices are added as my taste decides. Rice on the side is a easy meal.
