Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon-Herb Butter
Pan-seared cod fillets basted in a silky lemon-herb grass-fed butter sauce, served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp ghee
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
2 cups fresh asparagus
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the ghee, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the cod in the hot pan and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then carefully flip.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining ghee, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the pan, spooning the melting sauce over the fish for 2 minutes.
While the fish finishes, steam the asparagus spears until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Plate the fluffy quinoa and asparagus, top with the pan-seared cod, and drizzle with the remaining lemon-garlic butter and fresh parsley.
