INGREDIENTS
7 oz Cod Fillet (198g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
3 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the cod fillet in the pan.
Cook the cod for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic from the clove, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well to create a zesty, aromatic sauce.
Plate the cod fillet and drizzle the lemon-herb sauce generously over the top. Serve with the roasted asparagus on the side.
