Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the cod fillet in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until it forms a nice golden crust.
Flip the cod fillet and add 1 tbsp of butter to the pan along with 1 minced garlic clove. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the cod with the garlic-infused butter. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Squeeze half a lemon over the cooked cod and sprinkle with chopped parsley before removing it from the heat.
Serve the pan-seared cod alongside the already cooked and warmed 3/4 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of steamed broccoli. Optionally, garnish with lemon wedges and additional parsley.
