Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 Arctic cod fillets (5 oz each) and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground coriander evenly on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add cod fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and easily flakes with a fork; remove from skillet and keep warm.
Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 clove minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp honey; simmer for 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Return cod fillets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them for 1 minute to warm through.
Step 7: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
