Golden Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Cod
Pan-seared cod fillets infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus for a bright and vibrant meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Avocado oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving it to allow a golden-brown crust to form.
Carefully flip the fish and add the minced garlic to the pan, sautéing for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the fillets and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish finishes, steam or roast the asparagus until tender-crisp and warm the pre-cooked quinoa.
Plate the cod over the fluffy quinoa with the asparagus on the side, garnishing with lemon zest and fresh chopped parsley.
