INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet (170g)
10 spears Asparagus (80g)
1/2 cup cooked White Rice (92g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 Lemon
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of 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 exterior is crispy and the inside is opaque.
Warm the cooked white rice if needed, or plate it fresh as a bed for the fish and asparagus.
Plate the rice, place the seared cod on top, and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice over the cod.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.
