Step 1
Pat the 4 cod fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside. Increase heat to medium-high and place the cod fillets in the oil, skin-side up.
Step 4
Cook the cod until the bottom is golden and the fish flakes easily, about 4-5 minutes per side. Use a spatula to gently flip.
Step 5
Return the garlic to the pan and spoon the hot oil over the fish for 1 minute.
Step 6
Transfer the cod to plates, pour the garlic oil over the top, and sprinkle with the 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
