Yield: 4 servings.
2 pounds or 4 (8-ounce) fillets fresh cod
4 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lemon wedges (for garnish)
Lay fish on cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together paprika, onion and garlic powders, celery salt, kosher salt, and lemon pepper. Press both sides of fillets into seasoning mix and set aside on a plate.
To a large skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once oil is hot, carefully place fish into pan. Cook for 2 minutes, then use a fish spatula to flip fillets. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until fish forms a light brown crust. Drain fried fish on a cooling rack over a baking sheet and serve hot. Garnish with fresh lemon.

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons dill pickle cubes or relish
1 teaspoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
