Heat a medium-size non-stick frypan on med-high heat for 30 seconds. Add ½ of the olive oil, then place the cod top side down. Continue to sear the cornmeal crust cod for 30 seconds or golden brown. Flip over and add the remaining ½ of the olive oil, continuing to pan fry for additional 30 seconds. Flip over and turn down to med heat, cook for another 2 minutes, flip over, shut off heat, and let rest in the pan for another 2 minutes.
