Steps:
- Rinse the cod and feel for any bones to remove. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Use kitchen scissors to cut any large fillets into smaller servings.
- Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Add the flour to a dinner plate and stir in the seasonings (Old Bay, salt and hot paprika).
- Set up an assembly line from left to right with the cod, the beaten eggs, the flour and a large platter or pan to hold the fish.
- Dip each piece of cod in the eggs, coating both sides and letting the excess drip off. Then, place the cod in the seasoned flour, patting on the flour with the back of a fork. Flip the fish and flour the other side. Let excess flour fall off and add the fish to your platter in a single layer.
- Add the oil to a 12-inch frying pan and heat it on medium high. When the oil's temperature reaches 350 degrees F (test it with an instant thermometer or just wait until it's starting to ripple), add about half the fish to the pan in a single layer. (You'll need to fry it in two batches.)
- Fry the first side without moving it for 3-4 minutes (or less for thin pieces), until golden brown. Flip over the fish and fry the second side without moving it for another 3-4 minutes (or just 2 minutes for thin pieces). To check for doneness, you can place a thick piece of fish to a plate and cut it open. The fish should flake easily and not look shiny inside.
- Continue frying the rest of the fish in a second batch. You shouldn't need to change out the oil, but if it gets too dark, you can replace it with fresh oil.
- Place the fried cod on a cooling rack positioned over paper towels to drain. (This prevents sogginess.) Pat the fish with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. If you don't have a cooling rack, you can drain the fish on a platter lined with paper towels.
- After a few minutes, squeeze lemon juice onto the cod and serve immediately with extra Old Bay and some mayo, if desired.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Leftovers are delicious slightly warmed in the microwave (or try a toaster oven) and served with mayo for dipping, or in a fish sandwich or taco. Do not freeze.

Steps:
- Place racks in center and top-most positions of oven; heat broiler. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; discard. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 3 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat, then turn cut side down and broil bell peppers on top rack, turning baking sheet front to back halfway through, until skins are blackened all over, 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer bell peppers along with oil and juices on baking sheet to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let bell peppers sit 10 minutes to steam, which will loosen their skins. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
- Uncover bell peppers and peel away charred skin from flesh (don't worry about getting every last bit); discard. Tear flesh into 1/2" strips and place in a shallow 3-qt. baking dish along with all the accumulated juices in the bowl. Add garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and toss well to combine. Taste and season with more salt.
- Nestle cod into bell pepper mixture, drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast on center rack until flesh is opaque throughout and flakes easily when pressed, 25-30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss onion, parsley, capers, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt.
- Top fish with onion mixture and serve with bread.
- Do Ahead
- Bell peppers can be roasted 1 day ahead. Peel and let cool; cover and chill.
FRIED COD WITH GREEN PEPPERS
Translated from Karlos Arguiñano's "Atrévete a cocinar". I've never found green peppers like the fine ones in Spain. They look much like poblanos but they're not spicy in the least, and they don't taste as strong. Red bell peppers might make a good substitute. Spring onions in Spain are about the size of a small regular onion in the US. I would use maybe 4-6 green onions if I'm in the US. The author doesn't recommend measuring equipment, so a tbsp means a soup-spoonful.

Steps:
- Peel green onion and julienne. Clean peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into strips.
- Without peeling them, crush garlic cloves with broad side of chef's knife.
- Heat oil in large frying pan, add garlic cloves (still unpeeled) and fry until they start to turn golden. Transfer garlic to plate, peel and reserve.
- Add cod to pan and fry 3 minutes each side. If the skin is still on, it's very important not to fry the skin side first. Fry the side with no skin first. After frying remove from pan, place on plate.
- Add green onion and pepper to pan, add salt to taste and cook 12 minutes on med-low heat.
- Return fish to pan with any liquid on the plate (the fish will release some liquid while it sits), also return peeled garlic to pan and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
- Serve fish and vegetables together.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS
Quick to make and very pretty to behold, this easy weeknight dish has more verve than most. The roasted bell peppers turn sweet and golden, while olives add a salty note that goes nicely with the mild, flaky fish and a garlicky parsley dressing. If you can't find hake, cod or flounder make fine substitutes, though you may have to adjust the roasting time. The thicker the fillets, the longer they will take to cook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull 1 tablespoon thyme leaves off the bunch and finely chop.
- Season fish all over with a large pinch or two of salt and pepper and rub with chopped thyme leaves. Let rest at room temperature while you prepare peppers.
- Spread peppers on a rimmed sheet pan, and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper to taste. Top peppers with the remaining thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing occasionally, until peppers are softened and golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Push peppers to the edges of the pan, clearing a space in the center. Lay fish out on that empty space and drizzle with oil. Scatter olives over the top of fish and peppers. Roast until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette by combining vinegar, garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, then whisk in parsley. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Serve fish and peppers drizzled with vinaigrette.

PAN-FRIED COD WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE
This one is a favourite amongst my family. The sauce was inspired by a red pepper soup I had once, so i adapted it, and i think it goes really well with fish. I usually use thick cod fillets for this dish, but theoretically you could use any white fish you like. I like to serve this with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
