Season the cod fillets with Cajun seasoning on all sides.
Heat a flat skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, set the cod fillets in the skillet. Cook on one side, without touching, for 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the fish. If it has reached 130°F, remove the fish from the pan. If not, turn down the heat to medium and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes, until the fish reaches the correct internal temperature.

Since cod fillets come in all different sizes and thicknesses, the cooking time will vary, so it is important to check the fish with a meat thermometer and cook until the center reaches at least 130°F.
The best way to reheat this cod is in the air fryer, if you have one. Put it on 325°F for 4-5 minutes to reheat and crisp it back up. You want to make sure to cook it at a low temperature to just warm it through, and not add too much heat that will over cook it.
