Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets dusted with turmeric for a vibrant hue, served with crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa in a bright citrus reduction.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1.5 cups asparagus
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and ground turmeric.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip the fillets.
Add the trimmed asparagus and minced garlic to the pan around the fish, sautéing the vegetables until they are tender-crisp.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the fish and into the pan, allowing the liquid to bubble and emulsify with the oil for 1 minute.
Serve the golden cod and asparagus over a bed of warm quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan juices on top and garnishing with chopped parsley.
