Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets basted in a bright lemon-garlic ghee sauce, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
10 medium Asparagus spears
0 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0 tbsp Ghee
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets thoroughly dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
Flip the fish gently using a fish spatula, then add the ghee, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the pan.
Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the fish with the bubbling garlic-lemon ghee for another 2 to 3 minutes until the fish is opaque.
Serve the cod immediately over the warm cooked quinoa and steamed asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley.
