Enjoy a delicate balance of flavors with this seared cod paired with crisp roasted asparagus and a vibrant sprinkle of fresh herbs. The dish offers a light yet satisfying meal with a harmonious blend of citrus, herbs, and a touch of olive oil that perfects the sear on the fish.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Cod Fillet (~184g)
1 cup Asparagus (~134g)
1.5 tsp Olive Oil (~7.5g)
0.5 tsp Unsalted Butter (~2.5g)
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1 Lemon wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter along with the remaining olive oil. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, carefully place the cod fillet in the skillet.
Sear the cod for about 3 minutes on each side until it develops a golden crust and is just cooked through.
Remove the cod from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Finely chop the fresh herbs and sprinkle them over the cod for a burst of flavor.
Plate the seared cod alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with a lemon wedge for an extra zing. Serve immediately.
