INGREDIENTS
7 oz Cod Fillet (~200g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
2 tsp Olive Oil (~9g)
Zest of 1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss them with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat dry the cod fillet and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Sear the cod for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden and the fish is opaque in the center.
Remove the cod from the skillet and plate alongside the roasted asparagus.
Finish by sprinkling freshly grated lemon zest over the cod and asparagus for a burst of citrus flavor.
