Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod seasoned with smoky paprika and garlic, served alongside fluffy quinoa and snap-crisp asparagus with a bright, zesty lemon finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 tbsp Ghee
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear, then season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat the ghee in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden-brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 3 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Place the warm cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the pan-seared cod and asparagus, then finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
