Tips:

Choose the right cod. Look for cod that is firm and white, with no brown spots or discoloration. Avoid cod that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
Pat the cod dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
Season the cod generously. Cod is a mild-flavored fish, so it can handle a lot of seasoning. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cook the cod over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside and a tender, flaky interior.
Don't overcook the cod. Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked cod will be dry and tough.
Serve the cod immediately. Cod is best served hot, with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of tartar sauce.
