Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Flaky cod fillets pan-seared to a golden finish with aromatic turmeric and bright lemon, served alongside nutty quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 whole lemon
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear.
In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, black pepper, and ground turmeric, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trimmed asparagus and minced garlic, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. 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.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the cod during the last minute of cooking.
Serve the golden cod immediately over a bed of warm quinoa with the sautéed asparagus on the side, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
