  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  5. Add the cod loins to the pan. Lower the heat to medium and sauté until the fish is golden brown on the bottom, about 6-8 minutes. Turn the fish over and finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  6. To serve ladle Italian sauce in the middle of the pate them place sautéed cod in the center and serve immediately.
