1. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
3. Lightly coat each fillet in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the fillets.
5. Sear the cod for 7 to 8 minutes per side, until golden brown and it flakes easily with a fork.
6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add the onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper and cook for 1 more minute.
8. Pour in the heavy cream, lower the heat to low, then slowly add the bloomed saffron while stirring constantly.
9. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency.
10. Spoon some sauce over the cod, garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
