Ingredients

4 servings

4 cod fillets (6 oz each, about 1 inch thick), patted dry
1 tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp coconut oil

For the pan sauce

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
¼ cup chicken bone broth
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels — any surface moisture will prevent browning. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then season both sides of each fillet evenly with the spice mixture.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and a drop of water flicked in sizzles immediately.
