Ingredients

> 1 tbsp olive oil
> 4 (6 - 8 oz) cod filets
> 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
> 2 tbsp flour
> 1 tbsp minced garlic
> 1 tbsp capers, drained
> 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
> 2 tbsp lemon juice
> 1 tbsp cold butter

Steps

1
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Pat fish filets dry with a paper towel and lightly sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning on each side. Sprinkle the flour on each side of the filets afterwards and shake off any excess.
2
Add the olive oil to hot pan, followed by the floured cod. Cook, for 2-3 minutes or until filets are golden brown. Flip the filets and add the garlic and capers to the pan. Continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes.
3
Add the chicken broth to pan and pour the lemon juice over the fish filets. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-4 minutes longer or until cod is completely cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
4
Remove pan from heat. Add the cold butter and swirl in the pan until completely melted. Serve fish with caper sauce on top.
