Pan-Seared Fish with Pesto and Roasted Root Vegetables
Pan-seared white fish topped with vibrant basil pesto, served alongside a medley of oven-roasted carrots and parsnips that offer a satisfying, earthy sweetness.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
0.75 cup Carrots
0.75 cup Parsnips
2 tsp Olive oil
1.5 tbsp Basil pesto
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips into 1-inch pieces, then toss them on the baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, half of the sea salt, half of the black pepper, and the parmesan cheese.
Roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are golden brown.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the fish in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the roasted root vegetables alongside the fish, then top the fillet with the basil pesto and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
