    Method

    1. 1

      Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Crush the grains of paradise and mix with the salt and finely grated lemon zest.

    2. 2

      Pat the cod dry and press the spice mixture onto both sides. Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

    3. 3

      Sear the cod about 2 minutes on one side, turn it and put the pan in the oven for 4 to 8 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 63°C (145°F).

    4. 4

      Move the fish to plates, squeeze lemon juice over it and scatter with chopped parsley.
