Golden Pan-Seared Cod with Zesty Lemon
Flaky pan-seared cod fillets finished with a zesty lemon-garlic glaze and served over fluffy quinoa with crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
9 oz cod fillet
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the cod in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the cod from the pan and set aside; add the minced garlic, trimmed asparagus, and halved cherry tomatoes to the same skillet.
Sauté the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the tomatoes begin to burst.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley to create a light pan sauce.
Plate the fluffy cooked quinoa and top with the sautéed vegetables and the pan-seared cod.
