INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Cod Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 medium Lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the cod fillet in the pan and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until a golden crust forms and the fish flakes easily.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking to retain a crisp texture.
Prepare the lemon herb quinoa by fluffing the pre-cooked quinoa in a bowl. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about a quarter of a lemon) and mix in finely chopped parsley and dill.
Plate the seared cod alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of lemon herb quinoa. Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve immediately.
