Savor this delightful plate featuring an 8-ounce cod fillet with a fragrant herb crust, pan-seared to perfection and drizzled with a luscious lemon butter sauce. Served alongside tender steamed asparagus, this dish balances bright citrus notes with rich buttery accents for a truly satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod Fillet
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley/Dill)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup steamed Asparagus
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Mix the fresh herbs with a drizzle of lemon juice to create an herb crust and gently press onto the cod fillet.
Heat 1.5 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod fillet in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In the last minute of cooking, add the unsalted butter and remaining lemon juice into the pan, swirling the pan to create a silky lemon butter sauce that coats the fish.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the cod alongside the steamed asparagus and drizzle any remaining lemon butter sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh blend of citrus, herbs, and buttery richness.
