Creating delicious Cod Piccata is easy with these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Cod: Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Dredge: Spread the flour on a plate and gently dredge each fillet on both sides, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat Oil and Butter: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and hot.
4. Cook the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets and set aside on a plate.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
6. Add Liquids: Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
7. Add Capers: Stir in the capers, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
8. Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter until the sauce is slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Combine: Return the cooked cod fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and warm for an additional minute.
10. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.

These steps will lead you to create an incredible Cod Piccata that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who tastes it!
