Zesty Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared cod fillets seasoned with zesty lemon and smoked paprika served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus for a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1.5 cup Asparagus spears
1.5 tbsp Olive oil
0.5 tbsp Ghee
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until they reach a crisp-tender texture.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the ghee and the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the cod in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest over the fish before serving immediately with the roasted asparagus.
