INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod Fillet
1 cup Asparagus Spears
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the cod fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends, then rinse and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it develops a golden crust.
Flip the cod gently and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil along with minced garlic. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the seared cod, then serve the fish alongside the lemon-garlic asparagus. Enjoy this bright, flavorful dish!
