INGREDIENTS

9.2 oz Cod Fillet

1.5 cups Asparagus spears

1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 medium Lemon

1 clove Garlic, minced

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.

• 3

  Cover and steam the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.

• 4

  While the asparagus steams, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Place the cod fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them to develop a golden crust.

• 6

  Carefully flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

• 7

  In the final minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the pan, swirling to infuse the oil.

• 8

  Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the fish and serve immediately alongside the steamed asparagus.
