Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets basted in a bright lemon-ghee sauce, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and tender roasted asparagus with a satisfyingly crisp crust.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
0.5 cup Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp Avocado oil
0.5 tbsp Ghee
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear.
Season both sides of the fish evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the cod in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving it until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the fish, then add the ghee, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan.
Baste the cod with the melting lemon-ghee for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
While the fish cooks, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears until bright green and tender-crisp.
Serve the golden cod over a bed of warm quinoa and asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley.
