Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Enjoy a light yet satisfying plate featuring a perfectly seared cod fillet paired with tender roasted asparagus highlighted by a bright hit of fresh lemon zest. A simple drizzle of olive oil elevates the flavors while keeping the dish balanced and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod Fillet
150 g Asparagus
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to roast the asparagus.
Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, pat the cod fillet dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, adding the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the cod fillet in the skillet and sear for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cod from the pan and transfer to a plate.
Sprinkle freshly grated lemon zest over the cod and serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
