Step 1 Prepare cod
Add IPA to a large pan and simmer. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Cod fillets under cold water. Turn off heat and add cod to IPA, skin side down. Return heat to a simmer (IPA should simmer, not boil).
Once simmering, cover the pan tightly and cook 4 to 5 minutes for frozen cod or 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish.

Step 2 Hold cod and serve
Turn off the heat and let the fish rest in liquid for 5 minutes, or until opaque throughout. Remove cod from pan; baste with a little of the warm beer to amp up the hops/beer flavor in the fish. Season with a little salt, to taste.
