Drizzle the cod fillets with lemon juice. Then season with salt & pepper, rub with the garlic, and the rest of the spices, coat with 1 tbsp. of oil. Leave for half an hour to marinade, if you have time.

Heat the pan, and fry the cod for about 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked throughout, then remove from the pan.

 

Heat the cooked bulgur on the same pan, with the remaining juices, then divide between plates. Serve with the cod and top with the earlier prepared tomato salad. Serve with lemon wedges.
