Golden Pan-Seared Fish with Zesty Lemon
Golden pan-seared cod fillets infused with zesty lemon and garlic, served alongside nutty quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a bright, refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the fish in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until opaque.
Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; add the remaining oil to the same skillet along with the minced garlic and trimmed asparagus.
Sauté the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the vegetables and the rested fish.
Serve the golden fish and asparagus over a bed of warm quinoa, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color.
