Pan-Seared Cod with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Flaky cod fillets pan-seared until golden, served with nutty brown rice and tender-crisp asparagus finished with a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
9 ounces Cod Fillet
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse and trim the woody ends off the asparagus and ensure your brown rice is cooked and kept warm.
Pat the cod fillets very dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Carefully place the cod fillets in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is searing, steam the asparagus over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Plate the pan-seared cod over a bed of the fluffy brown rice with the steamed asparagus on the side.
Drizzle the remaining garlic oil from the pan over the fish and finish the entire plate with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
