Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil and melted butter. Leave the garlic out for now and set the bowl aside.
3. In another shallow bowl, mix the flour, coriander, paprika, cumin, salt and black pepper.
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 olive oil in a cast iron or other oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Sear the fish about 2 minutes per side, just for colour, without cooking it through. Take the pan off the heat.
6. Stir the minced garlic into the leftover lemon mixture and drizzle it over the fish.
7. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes, checking earlier. Scatter the chopped parsley over the fish and serve immediately.
