Greek-Style Baked Cod with Lemon and Garlic

Just walked in at 7pm from a wonderful, lazy afternoon with my girlfriends at Avondale Brewing! Got home and threw together this amazing Greek Baked Cod with Lemon and Garlic. Wish I could take credit for this but it comes from one of my go to blogs: themediterraneandish.com Her food is fabulous and quick! 

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces (4-6 pieces)
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Lemon Juice Mixture 

• 5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp melted butter

For Coating

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground coriander 
• 3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
• 3/4 tsp ground cumin
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• Mix lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
• In another shallow bowl, mix all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon juice mixture.
• Pat fish fillet dry. Dip fish in the lemon juice mixture then dip in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is sizzling but not smoking). Turn heat to medium-high and add the fish. Sear fish on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about a couple minutes on each side) Remove from heat.
• To the remaining lemon juice mixture, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
• Bake in the heated oven for until it begins to flake easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley.
