Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets seasoned with aromatic garlic and zest, served over fluffy quinoa and tender roasted asparagus for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a crisp sear and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh lemon zest.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 4 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and plate it alongside the asparagus, then top with the golden cod fillet.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley for a clean, zesty finish.
