Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared cod fillets seasoned with turmeric for a vibrant golden hue, served with crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa in a bright lemon-garlic sauce.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 tbsp Avocado oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Ground turmeric
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and ground turmeric.
Heat avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip gently.
Add the asparagus spears to the same pan around the fish, sautéing them as the cod finishes cooking for another 3 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and the juice of half a lemon during the last minute of cooking, basting the fish with the zesty pan juices.
Serve the golden cod and tender asparagus over a bed of warm quinoa, garnished with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges.
