How to Make Peppered Cod
- Coarsely crack 2 tablespoons of black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or a sturdy spice grinder.
- Season the cod fillets lightly with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Then, firmly press the cracked peppercorns onto both sides of each fillet, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the cod fillets in the hot pan. Sear for 3 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (If your pan is overcrowded, cook the fillets in batches to avoid steaming.)
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and prevent steaming. Do not overcook!
- Serve immediately with a fresh salad, pasta, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
