Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Dry & Season Generously: Pat your main ingredients bone-dry and coat evenly in smoked paprika, garlic, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.
2. Preheat to Sizzling Hot: Bring your cast-iron skillet or air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 full minutes before adding oil.
3. Sear for Golden Crust: Arrange in a single uncrowded layer and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until a deep golden Maillard crust forms.
4. Build the Savory Glaze: Flip, lower heat to medium, and fold in grated garlic, citrus juice, and creamy Parmesan or cottage cheese.
5. Rest & Garnish for Crunch: Rest 3 minutes to lock in juices, then finish with fresh herbs and crunchy topping before serving hot.
