Crispy Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon Herb Crust
Enjoy a delicate, crispy pan-seared cod featuring a zesty lemon herb crust paired with lightly roasted asparagus and a side of fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a bright, balanced flavor profile with a perfectly seared fish, fresh herbs, and a subtle crunch from whole wheat breadcrumbs.
INGREDIENTS
150g Cod Fillet
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Lemon Zest
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
100g Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the cod fillet to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod, crust side down, in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Gently flip the cod and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Meanwhile, roast or steam the asparagus until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Warm the cooked quinoa, if needed.
Plate the cod fillet alongside the asparagus and quinoa, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
