Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Pan-seared cod fillets finished with a zesty lemon-dill yogurt sauce, served alongside crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and refreshing meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh dill
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and finely chopped fresh dill until smooth.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the cod fillets in the hot skillet and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
Flip the fillets gently and add the trimmed asparagus spears to the empty spaces in the pan.
Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and plate it as a base, topping it with the seared cod and roasted asparagus.
Generously dollop the lemon-dill yogurt sauce over the warm fish and serve immediately.
