Lemon-Garlic Pan Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Experience a delightful dinner with tender, pan-seared cod infused with lemon and garlic, perfectly complemented by roasted asparagus spears. The dish balances bright citrus notes, savory garlic, and the natural sweetness of asparagus for a meal that is both nourishing and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Cod Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the lined tray. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the cod fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the cod carefully and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the cod with lemon juice. Let it rest for a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Plate the cod alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
