Creating Buttered Cod in Skillet is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Cod: Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, without moving them, until they are golden brown.
4. Flip the Fillets: Carefully flip the cod fillets over using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
5. Add Butter and Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the cod as it cooks.
6. Finish with Lemon Juice: After the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, drizzle the lemon juice over the fillets.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
