Ingredients

  • 2 - 2 1/2 lbs fresh cod, thickly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup hot water

Method

  • Put the oil, salt, parsley, garlic, saffron, and lemon juice into a pan broad enough to hold the fish slices side by side.
  • Cook, stirring, over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the fish slices, turning them to coat both sides with the seasoning mixture.
  • Cover the pan and cook gently.
  • When the surfaces of the fish slices turn white, after about 10 minutes, turn over the slices and moisten them with hot water.
  • Bring to a boil, and serve immediately.
