To make the garlic sauce, add the chopped garlic into a mortar, along with the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt, using a mortar, pound down on the ingredients until you get a paste-like texture, then add in the olive oil and mix together until well mixed, set aside

Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the 1/3 cup (90 ml) olive oil

In the meantime, add the cod fillets over some paper towels, all in a single layer, and pat completely dry, then season with salt & pepper on both sides

Once the oil is nice and hot in the pan, add in the cod fillets, all in a single layer and skin side down, and fry for 3 minutes per side or until the cod is cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside

Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the sliced garlic and crushed red pepper, mix continuously, after 30 seconds to 1 minute and the garlic is fragrant, turn off the heat, add in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and season with salt & pepper, mix together

Add the cod fillets back into the pan, once again all in a single layer, spoon some of the oil over the fish fillets, then top each one off with the garlic sauce we made earlier

Serve directly out of the pan, garnished with lemon wedges, enjoy!
