INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Cod Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the cod fillet in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the cod and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and arrange on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Remove the cod from heat and finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh lemon zest over the top, adding a vibrant, citrusy note.
Plate the seared cod alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
