Cook the fish
This keeps fish tender and stops it from breaking apart.
1. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat.
2. Add the seasoned cod pieces.
3. Cook 3–4 minutes each side until opaque and flaky.
4. Remove gently to a plate and cover to keep warm.
If using mahi-mahi:
Cook 1–2 minutes longer per side since it’s firmer.
