Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Lemony Asparagus
Pan-seared cod fillets seasoned with earthy turmeric and garlic, served with crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and zesty meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Ground turmeric
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear.
In a small bowl, whisk together the turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is beautifully golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; in the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and zest, tossing the asparagus to coat thoroughly.
Plate the cod over a bed of warm quinoa and serve the lemony asparagus alongside.
