Step-by-Step Instructions for Sticky Garlic Butter Sweet Chili Cod

In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, finely minced garlic, melted butter, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well mixed and smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Spoon the prepared sauce over the fillets generously, allowing it to bubble and thicken slightly, creating a sticky coating.
Carefully transfer the fillets to a serving plate and drizzle remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
