INGREDIENTS
9 oz Cod Fillet (255g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
Zest of 1/2 Lemon
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the olive oil.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod fillet in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until it achieves a golden crust and is just opaque in the center.
Remove the cod from the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it, then sprinkle with lemon zest.
Plate the seared cod alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
