INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Ling Cod Fillet
1/3 cup dry Orzo Pasta
5 Asparagus Spears
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Toss the asparagus spears with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
In a small bowl, stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well with the cooked orzo until creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Pat the ling cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillet and pan-sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is crispy and the fish flakes easily.
Plate the creamy lemon orzo as a base, place the pan-seared ling cod on top, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with extra lemon zest if desired and serve immediately.
