Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared cod fillets basted in a bright lemon-herb sauce, served with nutty quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a golden crust, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is beautifully golden and releases easily from the pan.
Flip the fillets and add the minced garlic to the pan, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Pour the lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, spooning the pan juices over the cod for another 2-3 minutes until opaque.
While the fish finishes, steam the asparagus spears for 4-5 minutes until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
Serve the golden cod immediately alongside the warm cooked quinoa and steamed asparagus.
