Crispy Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon-Garlic Green Beans
Enjoy a delightful dish featuring a crispy pan-seared cod fillet paired with vibrant lemon-garlic green beans. The perfectly cooked cod boasts a tender, flaky texture while the green beans shine with a bright, zesty flavor enhanced by garlic and lemon. A light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil ties the dish together, making it an ideal balance of crispiness and freshness.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsp Lemon Juice (fresh)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the cod in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden, crispy crust forms.
Carefully flip the cod and add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, occasionally spooning the flavorful oil and garlic over the fish.
Squeeze in the lemon juice during the last minute of cooking to infuse the cod with a bright, citrusy flavor.
Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and quickly toss in a small pan with a dash of olive oil, salt, and pepper, or incorporate into the main skillet for a minute to warm through.
Plate the cod alongside the lemon-garlic green beans, drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top, and serve immediately.
