Hope this one turns out as good as it sounds in my head.  Cod really doesn't have much flavor.  Dipping the fish in a lemon mixture prior to dredging in flour with great spices will give it an added burst of flavor.  Then adding lots of garlic to remaining lemon mixture, drizzling over fish just before baking will make it fantastic.  Recipe; 4 to 6 pieces of Cod I have 2 small filets and 2 Cod Loins 6 garlic cloves peeled and minced Fresh parsley about 1/3 of a cup chopped Juice from a lemon. About 4 tablespoons Oil oil 4 tablespoons  2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter Dredging: 1/3 c flour. I  love using  Gold Medal Wondra flour. Comes in a blue can...  super fine flour 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp cumin Pinch of salt and 2 of pepper Nows a good time for a beverage,   white wine or a nice Gin and Tonic 🍸🍹 Preheat over to 400.   Mix lemon juice olive oil and melted butter.

 Never tried making these before..but it was a 2 pack at grocery store so I said why not... So cutting a pocket in a pork chop isn't easy.  Must have a sharp knife that doesn't cut your hand..  so in the side of chop. Slice a pocket to the bone don't cut all the way thru.   I sauteed a half a pound of fresh pork sausage,  added 1/2 a chopped onion, and cup of  chopped butternut squash,  cooked until they browned lightly. Just eye ball it...or about 10 minutes. add 1 teaspoon chopped garlic,  salt and pepper to taste and 2 handfuls of spinach cooked until wilted.  Added 2 tablespoons butter without salt 4 ounces cream cheese,  grated parmesan cheese.  Mixed and set aside to cool slightly.  Take your pork chop and stuff with spinach mixture,  secure with toothpicks and brown each side for 4 minutes in a over proof pan...once browned place in 375 degree over for 25 minutes...2 Big things to remember Remove the toothpicks...
