Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared cod seasoned with turmeric and garlic, served alongside zesty roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, citrus-infused meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1.5 cups Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 cloves Garlic
0.25 tsp Ground turmeric
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 for easy cleanup.
Toss the asparagus spears on the baking sheet with 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes until the tips are slightly charred and tender.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with turmeric, salt, and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon juice to the skillet, basting the fish with the pan juices.
Plate the golden cod over the warm cooked quinoa and serve with the zesty roasted asparagus on the side.
