Step 1
Place the 1 lb cod fillets in a skillet, cover with water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the cod and transfer to a bowl. Add the 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Step 3
Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and 2 tbsp chopped chives. Taste and add more salt or lemon if needed.
Step 4
Serve warm or at room temperature with toast, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Garnish with extra chives if desired.
