INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod Fillet
6 Asparagus Spears (~100g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (~50g)
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt & Pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the asparagus.
Rinse the cod fillet and pat dry. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chopped garlic and fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Meanwhile, trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Lay them on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender but still crisp.
For the herb quinoa, gently reheat the 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa in a small saucepan. Stir in a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Plate the seared cod with a side of roasted asparagus and a serving of herb quinoa. Garnish with an extra lemon wedge, and serve immediately.
