Golden Pan-Seared Basa with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared basa fillets seasoned with turmeric for a vibrant golden hue, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a refreshing, citrus-forward meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Basa fillets
1 tbsp Avocado oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Ground turmeric
PREPARATION
Pat the basa fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and ground turmeric.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Place the fillets in the skillet and sear for 3-4 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 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Remove the fish from the pan and briefly sauté the minced garlic in the remaining oil for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir the cooked quinoa into the garlic oil to warm through, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Plate the golden fish over the quinoa with the asparagus on the side and serve immediately.
