Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Mix the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and melted butter in a shallow bowl. Do not add the garlic yet. Set aside.
3. In another shallow bowl, mix the flour, ground coriander, sweet Spanish paprika, ground cumin, salt and black pepper. Place it beside the lemon mixture.
4. Pat the cod dry. Dip each piece in the lemon mixture, then in the flour mixture, and shake off the excess flour. Keep the leftover lemon mixture for later.
5. Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet or other oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the cod and sear each side for about 2 minutes to colour it, without cooking it through. Take the pan off the heat.
6. Add the minced garlic to the reserved lemon mixture and stir. Drizzle it over the cod.
7. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes, checking from earlier. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve right away.
