- In a wide saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with 2 minced garlic cloves over low heat. Be careful not to brown the garlic; we just want it to sizzle gently.
- Once the garlic is fragrant, lay the cod fillets into the pan with the skin side facing up. Gently swirl the pan back and forth so the fish doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- While gently swirling, gradually pour in 200 ml of fish stock. Keep the heat on very low and let it simmer softly for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, sprinkle chopped parsley over the cod, season with salt to taste, and continue cooking for another minute.
- Carefully plate the cod and drizzle the rich green sauce over the top. It’s ready to be served, so enjoy!
