PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

  Carefully place the cod in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving it until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 4

  Flip the fish gently and add the asparagus spears to the empty spaces in the pan.

• 5

  Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.

  Drizzle the lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest over the fish and asparagus during the last 30 seconds of cooking.

  Plate the cod and asparagus over the warm cooked quinoa and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
