Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets basted in a zesty lemon-ghee sauce, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp ghee
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 whole lemon
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the ghee, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without moving it to develop a golden crust.
Carefully flip the fish and add the asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic to the empty spaces in the pan.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and vegetables, then cover the skillet with a lid for 3 minutes to finish cooking the cod through.
Divide the warm quinoa between plates and top with the fish and sautéed vegetables, garnishing with fresh parsley before serving.
