Zesty Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared cod fillets seasoned with smoky paprika and fresh lemon, served alongside tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1.5 cups asparagus
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them on the baking sheet with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms, then carefully flip.
Add the minced garlic and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the pan, spooning the juices over the fish as it finishes cooking for another 3 minutes.
Serve the pan-seared cod over a bed of warm quinoa with the roasted asparagus on the side.
