1
Prepare the Cod
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Dredge in Flour
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
4
Cook the Cod
Add the dredged cod fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5
Prepare the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
6
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
7
Add Capers and Lemon Juice
Stir in the capers and lemon juice, cooking for another minute.
8
Finish the Sauce
Add the butter to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
9
Serve
Return the cooked cod fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
