PAN-FRIED COD SERVED WITH BRAISED POTATOES AND PEAS
Very easy, simple and tasty dish. The locals make it this way (so I think it's a Norwegian recipe!) and we loved it! Each time any of the students from the college go fishing and if they do catch a cod, they always come over and ask me to make them this dish! The cooking time doesn't include refrigeration time.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Cod: Fresh cod has a mild, flaky texture and a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the braised potatoes and peas.
- Season the Cod Well: Before pan-frying, season the cod with salt, pepper, and paprika. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the cod from sticking and breaking apart while cooking.
- Cook the Cod Over Medium Heat: Cooking the cod over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Braise the Potatoes and Peas: Braising the potatoes and peas in a flavorful broth will help to infuse them with flavor and make them tender.
- Serve the Cod with Lemon Wedges: Serve the pan-fried cod with lemon wedges so that diners can squeeze the lemon juice over the fish before eating.
