Seared Cod Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a light and flavorful dinner featuring a perfectly seared cod fillet accompanied by tender steamed asparagus and a fragrant herb-infused quinoa. This dish balances delicate fish with fresh greens and a hint of zesty herbs, creating a satisfying and nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Cod Fillet (~198g)
1 cup Steamed Asparagus (~134g)
1/8 cup uncooked Quinoa (~43g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa and place it in a small pot with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender and water is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon zest once cooked.
While the quinoa is cooking, season the cod fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the cod fillet in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Steam the asparagus until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the seared cod fillet alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of herb quinoa. Serve immediately and enjoy.
