Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon-Herb Rice
Flaky pan-seared cod seasoned with sea salt and pepper, served over a bed of zesty lemon-herb rice alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8.5 oz Cod fillet
0.5 cup Cooked white basmati rice
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly 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 skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
In a medium bowl, fluff the warm cooked rice and fold in the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley.
Plate the lemon-herb rice, top with the pan-seared cod, and serve the asparagus on the side for a clean and balanced meal.
