INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Cod Fillet
3 tablespoons chopped Pistachios
8 Asparagus Spears
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, pat the cod fillet dry using paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the chopped pistachios in a shallow dish. Gently press the top side of the cod fillet into the pistachios to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a light spray of cooking oil if desired. Place the cod fillet, crust side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the cod alongside the roasted asparagus. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired before serving.
